What does the speedometer and odometer of a vehicle indicate?

The speedometer of a vehicle indicates the current speed at which the vehicle is traveling. It is typically located on the dashboard of the vehicle and its unit is miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h) depending on the country or region.

The odometer, on the other hand, indicates the total distance traveled by the vehicle. It is also typically located on the dashboard and its unit is miles (mi) or kilometers (km).

Both the speedometer and odometer are essential instruments for monitoring the vehicle's speed and the distance traveled, which is useful for various purposes such as determining fuel consumption, estimating trip duration, and complying with speed limits.
