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 Inch (in) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring small to medium objects. For example, a smartphone screen is around 6 inches, a standard ruler is 12 inches, and a doorway height is about 80 inches. It's widely used in carpentry, display sizes, and construction.
To convert between Nautical Mile (nmi) and Inch (in), use the following formulas:
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 72913.38582677166 Inch (in)
1 Inch (in) = 0.000013714902807775378 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 nmi = 1 * 72913.38582677166 in = 72913.38582677166 in
5 nmi = 5 * 72913.38582677166 in = 364566.9291338583 in
10 nmi = 10 * 72913.38582677166 in = 729133.8582677166 in
20 nmi = 20 * 72913.38582677166 in = 1458267.7165354332 in
50 nmi = 50 * 72913.38582677166 in = 3645669.291338583 in
100 nmi = 100 * 72913.38582677166 in = 7291338.582677166 in
