If 1 kilometer is approximately 0.6 mile, which of the following best approximates the number of kilometers in 2 miles (A) 10/3 (B) 3 (C) 6/5 (D) 1/3 (E). You can find metric conversion tables for SI units, as wellĪs English units, currency, and other data. It is approximately equal to 0.621 miles, 1094 yards or 3281 feet.Ĭonversion calculator for all types of measurement units.

On this site, we assume that if you only specify 'mile' you want the statute mile.Ī kilometre (American spelling: kilometer, symbol: km) is a unit of length equal to 1000 metres (from the Greek words khilia = thousand and metro = count/measure).

There are more specific definitions of 'mile' such as the metric mile, statute mile, nautical mile, and survey mile. Today, one mile is mainly equal to about 1609 m on land and 1852 m at sea and in the air, but see below for the details.

In all cases, GLOBE data should be treated as any potentially useful but guaranteed imperfect data set. GLOBE prototypes (and probably GLOBE itself after its release) have been used to help develop terrain avoidance systems for aircraft. GLOBE may be used for technology development, such as helping plan infrastructure for cellular communications networks, other public works, satellite data processing, and environmental monitoring and analysis. In addition, individual contributions to GLOBE (several areas have more than one candidate) should become available at the same website. Improvements to the global model are anticipated, as appropriate data and/or methods are made available. It is also available from the World Wide Web (linked from the online linkage noted above and anonymous ftp. The GLOBE mosaic has been compiled onto CD-ROMs for the international user community. It continues much in the tradition of the National Geophysical Data Center's TerrainBase (FGDC 1090), as TerrainBase served as a generally lower-resolution prototype of GLOBE data management and compilation techniques. This version of GLOBE contains data from 11 sources, and 17 combinations of source and lineage. GLOBE is a project to develop the best available 30-arc-second (nominally 1 kilometer) global digital elevation data set.
