Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements. 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.
To convert between Megameter (Mm) and Nautical Mile (nmi), use the following formulas:
1 Megameter (Mm) = 539.9568034557235 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 0.001852 Megameter (Mm)
1 Mm = 1 * 539.9568034557235 nmi = 539.9568034557235 nmi
2.4 Mm = 2.4 * 539.9568034557235 nmi = 1295.8963282937364 nmi
5 Mm = 5 * 539.9568034557235 nmi = 2699.7840172786173 nmi
10 Mm = 10 * 539.9568034557235 nmi = 5399.568034557235 nmi
