Unit Definition (spat)
The spat is an informal unit of distance formerly used by astronomers. The spat is equal to the terameter (Tm, or 10E12 meters). This is equivalent to about 6.6846 astronomical units. The origin of this usage is not clear; "spat" may be an acronym for "space unit" or "space-time".

Unit Definition (mile [international])
The mile is one of the most common measurements of distance. It originates from the Latin word for 1000, 'mille'. Originally a mile was the distance a Roman legion could march in 1000 paces. In medieval Britain, several mile units were used, including the modern mile defined as 8 furlongs (1609 meters). Note that French, Scottish and Irish miles varied from the English. In 1592, Parliament defined the statute mile to be 8 furlongs or 1609.344 meters.
