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. 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).
To convert between Nautical Mile (nmi) and Hand (hh), use the following formulas:
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 18228.346456692914 Hand (hh)
1 Hand (hh) = 0.00005485961123110151 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 nmi = 1 * 18228.346456692914 hh = 18228.346456692914 hh
5 nmi = 5 * 18228.346456692914 hh = 91141.73228346457 hh
10 nmi = 10 * 18228.346456692914 hh = 182283.46456692915 hh
20 nmi = 20 * 18228.346456692914 hh = 364566.9291338583 hh
50 nmi = 50 * 18228.346456692914 hh = 911417.3228346457 hh
100 nmi = 100 * 18228.346456692914 hh = 1822834.6456692915 hh
