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.

What is a chain?

The chain is a unit of length measurement commonly used in surveying and land measurement. It is primarily used in countries that follow the imperial system of measurement, such as the United States and the United Kingdom. One chain is equal to 66 feet or 20.1168 meters. It is further divided into 100 links, with each link measuring 0.66 feet or 7.92 inches.

The chain was historically used for measuring large areas of land, such as farms or estates. Surveyors would use chains to measure distances between points and establish boundaries. The use of chains allowed for more accurate measurements compared to other methods available at the time. Today, the chain is still used in some specialized fields, such as civil engineering and land surveying, although it has been largely replaced by more modern and precise measurement tools like GPS.
