Micrometers (µm) measure cells (human cell = ~10–30 µm), bacteria (1–5 µm), and microelectronics. Pollen grains are ~15–100 µm wide. 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 Micrometer (µm) and Nautical Mile (nmi), use the following formulas:
1 Micrometer (µm) = 5.399568034557235e-10 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 1852000000 Micrometer (µm)
1 µm = 1 * 5.399568034557235e-10 nmi = 5.399568034557235e-10 nmi
10 µm = 10 * 5.399568034557235e-10 nmi = 5.399568034557235e-9 nmi
50 µm = 50 * 5.399568034557235e-10 nmi = 2.6997840172786175e-8 nmi
100 µm = 100 * 5.399568034557235e-10 nmi = 5.399568034557235e-8 nmi
500 µm = 500 * 5.399568034557235e-10 nmi = 2.699784017278617e-7 nmi
