Unit Definition (kilometer)
The kilometer is one of the most common metric units of length or distance. One kilometer equals exactly 1000 meters (metres), about 0.62137119 mile, 1093.6133 yards, or 3280.8399 feet.

Unit Definition (palmo [Texas])
The palmo is a traditional unit of distance in Spain and Portugal. The traditional Spanish palmo equals 9 pulgadas or 1/4 vara. In Texas, 1/4 vara comes to 8 1/3 inches (21.17 centimeters). These units are based on the width of a person's outstretched hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger, a definition identical to that of the English span.
