What is a US Nautical Mile?

A US nautical mile is a unit of measurement used primarily in navigation and marine activities. It is defined as exactly 1,852 meters or approximately 6,076.12 feet. The term "nautical mile" originated from the need for sailors to measure distances on the Earth's surface while taking into account the curvature of the Earth.

The US nautical mile is based on the international nautical mile, which was established in 1929 by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). The IHO defined the nautical mile as one minute of latitude along any meridian. Since the Earth is not a perfect sphere, the length of a nautical mile varies slightly depending on the latitude. However, for practical purposes, the US nautical mile is considered a fixed value.

The US nautical mile is commonly used in marine charts, navigation systems, and aviation. It provides a convenient and standardized way to measure distances at sea, ensuring accurate calculations for ship and aircraft navigation. Additionally, it is used in the calculation of speed over water, known as knots, where one knot is equal to one nautical mile per hour.

What is a US league?

A US league is a unit of measurement used in the United States to represent a distance. It is primarily used in historical contexts and is equivalent to three miles or 15,840 feet. The term "league" originated from the Latin word "leuca," which referred to a distance that could be covered in an hour's walk.

In the past, leagues were commonly used to measure distances between towns or to describe the length of a journey. They were particularly useful in determining the distance covered by a ship at sea. However, with the advent of more precise and standardized units of measurement, such as the mile and kilometer, the use of leagues has become less common in modern times.
