In the English (or imperial) system, distances are measured in inches, feet, yards, or miles, depending on what kind of distance you want to measure.
In the metric system, commonly used units are millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers - again, depending on how long the distance is, you would usually choose a shorter or a larger unit.
