Nautical mile (nmi) — unit for marine and air navigation defined exactly as 1,852 meters
Closely tied to Earth’s geometry; one minute of latitude is approximately one nautical mile. Speeds at sea and in air use knots.
- Symbols: nmi, NM
- Systems: Maritime/Aviation
- Exact relations: 1 nmi = 1,852 m = 1.852 km (exact)
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 nmi ≈ 1.15078 mi ≈ 6,076.11549 ft
- Typical examples: charted distances; 1 knot = 1 nmi/h
Mile (mi) — Imperial/US statute mile defined exactly as 1,609.344 meters
Standard for road distances in the US and UK. Historically derived from Roman measures, now metrically fixed for conversion.
- Symbol: mi
- System: Imperial/US customary
- Exact relations: 1 mi = 1,609.344 m = 1.609344 km (exact)
- Other relations: 1 mi = 5,280 ft = 1,760 yd
- Typical examples: highway signage, race distances (marathon ≈ 26.219 mi)
