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. Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements.
To convert between Nautical Mile (nmi) and Megameter (Mm), use the following formulas:
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 0.001852 Megameter (Mm)
1 Megameter (Mm) = 539.9568034557235 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 nmi = 1 * 0.001852 Mm = 0.001852 Mm
5 nmi = 5 * 0.001852 Mm = 0.00926 Mm
10 nmi = 10 * 0.001852 Mm = 0.01852 Mm
20 nmi = 20 * 0.001852 Mm = 0.03704 Mm
50 nmi = 50 * 0.001852 Mm = 0.0926 Mm
100 nmi = 100 * 0.001852 Mm = 0.1852 Mm
