On the surface of the Earth, miles used to be the traditional measure, but now displaced by the SI system with kilometres. An exception is in aviation, where horizontal distances are still measured in miles, and altitude measured in thousands of feet. This is to avoid confusing numbers between these two dimensions. There will still be many ships which measure speed in knots, and distance in nautical miles.
