Explanation
A mile is a unit of distance used to measure how far something is. For example, the school is two miles from my house. People use miles for roads, running, walking, or traveling. One mile is 1.609 kilometers. As a verb (less common), “to mile” can mean to travel a mile, like they milled along the trail for exercise. Miles help people know distances, plan travel, or measure performance in sports.
