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 Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph).
To convert between Nautical Mile (nmi) and Mile (mi), use the following formulas:
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 1.1507794480235425 Mile (mi)
1 Mile (mi) = 0.8689762419006479 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 nmi = 1 * 1.1507794480235425 mi = 1.1507794480235425 mi
5 nmi = 5 * 1.1507794480235425 mi = 5.753897240117713 mi
10 nmi = 10 * 1.1507794480235425 mi = 11.507794480235425 mi
20 nmi = 20 * 1.1507794480235425 mi = 23.01558896047085 mi
50 nmi = 50 * 1.1507794480235425 mi = 57.538972401177126 mi
100 nmi = 100 * 1.1507794480235425 mi = 115.07794480235425 mi
