Nautical miles (nmi) to Miles (mi) Conversion
Nautical miles
The nautical mile is a unit of length equal to exactly 1,852 metres, adopted internationally in 1929. Unlike most length units, it is geometrically derived: it corresponds to one arcminute (1/60 of a degree) of latitude, making it naturally suited to navigation on the spherical surface of the globe. Speed in nautical miles per hour is expressed in knots.
Miles
The mile is a unit of length with roots in the Roman mille passuum ("thousand paces"), approximately 1,480 metres. The modern international mile, standardised in 1959, is defined as exactly 1,609.344 metres. It remains the primary unit of road distance in the United States, United Kingdom, and a small number of other countries, and is used in aviation for visibility reporting. The statute mile should be distinguished from the nautical mile (1,852 m), used in maritime and aerial navigation worldwide.
