[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1770268, member: 105322"] You are right, virtually any measurement that is equally divisible by 10 would line up with MILS. A MIL is nothing more than 1 "something" at 1,000 "somethings". A MIL is: 1 inch at 1,000 inches 1 yard at 1,000 yards 1 mile at 1,000 miles The moon is 203,000 miles away, so 1 MIL at the moon's length is 203 miles. At 3600 inches (100 yards) it is 3.6 inches At 1760 yards (1 mile) it is 1.76 yards (63.36 inches) Because the metric system is a system of 10's, it is evenly divisible by 1,000's as well. [/QUOTE]
