Hand to Nautical Mile Converter
Hand (hh) to Nautical Mile (nmi) Conversion
The Hand is the standard unit for measuring horse height worldwide. One hand equals exactly 4 inches. For example, an average riding horse stands about 15-16 hands (60-64 inches) tall at the shoulder. This measurement is taken from the ground to the horse's withers (shoulder ridge). The Nautical Mile is used for global navigation, equaling one minute of latitude (about 1.15 statute miles). Commercial airliners cruise at altitudes of 35,000-40,000 feet (about 6 nautical miles). Modern nautical charts still use this measurement, and international maritime law specifies territorial waters in nautical miles.
