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 Meter (m) or (mtr) is used for everyday measurements like room dimensions (3-4 meters), the height of a door (2 meters), or the length of a car (4-5 meters). It's also used in sports, such as the height of a basketball hoop (3.05 meters).
To convert between Nautical Mile (nmi) and Meter (m), use the following formulas:
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 1852 Meter (m)
1 Meter (m) = 0.0005399568034557236 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 nmi = 1 * 1852 m = 1852 m
5 nmi = 5 * 1852 m = 9260 m
10 nmi = 10 * 1852 m = 18520 m
20 nmi = 20 * 1852 m = 37040 m
50 nmi = 50 * 1852 m = 92600 m
100 nmi = 100 * 1852 m = 185200 m
