What is an inch?

An inch is a length unit normally used in the United States and, occasionally, in the United Kingdom. It is defined as a twelth (1/12th) of a foot. The inch is normally subdivided into fractions of an inch such as the ½, ¼ and ⅛.

Historically, an inch was originally based on the width of a man's thumb. The inch is still commonly used in the United States for everyday measurements and worldwide for the size of TV and computer screens and clothing.

Inches are used in combination with other units of imperial measurement such as feet and yards. For example, a standard door in the United States a football field is 100 yards long or 300 feet or 3,600 inches.

What is an international nautical mile?

An international nautical mile is a unit of measurement used in navigation and maritime activities. It is defined as exactly 1,852 meters or 1.15078 miles. The term "nautical" refers to its use in the context of sea travel, distinguishing it from the statute mile used on land.

The international nautical mile is based on the circumference of the Earth and is used primarily for measuring distances at sea. It is widely used by sailors, pilots, and navigators to calculate routes, determine positions, and estimate travel times. Due to its standardized length, it allows for accurate and consistent measurements across different regions and countries.

The international nautical mile is divided into smaller units called nautical miles, which are further divided into minutes and seconds. This subdivision allows for precise measurements and calculations in navigation. The use of nautical miles is particularly important in marine charts, GPS systems, and other navigational tools, as it provides a common reference point for sailors and mariners worldwide.
