Miles vs. Kilometers: The Traveler's Guide to Unit Conversion
Traveling abroad? Don't let different measurement systems confuse you. Convert distance, weight, temperature, and more with ease.
You land in Europe, rent a car, and see a speed limit sign: 120. You think, "Wow, that's fast!" Then you realize it's kilometers per hour, not miles. Oops.
The Global Disconnect
Most of the world uses the Metric system, while the US sticks to Imperial. This clash causes confusion in everything from cooking (cups vs. grams) to weather (Fahrenheit vs. Celsius).
Essential Conversions
- Temperature: 30°C sounds hot, but is it? (Yes, it's 86°F).
- Distance: 5 kilometers is roughly 3.1 miles—a standard fun run distance.
- Weight: 1 kilogram is about 2.2 pounds. Important for luggage limits!
