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
Picometer (pm) — SI unit equal to one trillionth of a meter
Used to express atomic and subatomic dimensions such as bond lengths and ionic/atomic radii in chemistry and materials science
- Symbol: pm
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 pm = 10⁻¹² m = 0.001 nm = 10⁻⁶ µm = 0.01 Å = 1,000 fm
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 pm ≈ 0.00000000003937007874 in
- Typical examples: covalent bond lengths ~100–200 pm; Bohr radius of hydrogen ~53 pm; atomic radii tens to a few hundred pm
