It is difficult to take the same size pace every time, especially over rough ground.
It is hard to walk in a straight line. Also there is a chance for error in measuring the length of your paces even if they are all the same size. A small error here would compound if you take a lot of paces.

CoachOne limitation of pacing in distance measurements is that it can be affected by varying terrain or environmental conditions, leading to inaccuracies. Additionally, individual paces may vary among different people, resulting in inconsistent measurements. Lastly, pacing may not be suitable for measuring long distances accurately due to fatigue or changes in walking speed.

What is the accepted precision for measuring distance by pacing?
The accepted precision for measuring distance by pacing is typically around +/- 5%. This means that there could be a margin of error of up to 5% when using pacing to measure distances.
Measuring length width height and distance are all forms of what measurement?
Those measurements are forms of spatial measurements.
Can newtons measure distance?
No, because a newton is a measurement of force. You can only convert units that measure the same object. For example you can convert meters to feet because they are both measurements of distance.
Is the distance north and south of the equator it is noted by?
The distance north and south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is designated as 0° latitude, with measurements increasing to 90° north and 90° south.
What is the definition for a distance scale?
A distance scale is a representation of the relationship between distances on a map or diagram and the actual distances they represent in the real world. It is typically expressed as a ratio or a bar scale, allowing users to convert measurements between the map and reality.
