I need to find the closest distance between two types of points. Due to some limitations in the tools I have available, I joined the two layers together using a spatial join. I can see in the attribute table a new column called distance. However, I don't know what this distance is in. Is it miles? Kilometers? I have no idea.
It is usually in the units your dataframe is in. You can use the measure tool on the toolbar to check a sample distance between points in a unit of your choice to double check. Your dataframe units can be found in the bottom right corner of the map, or by checking your dataframe properties.
