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 Yard (yd) is often used in sports and fabric measurements. A football field is 100 yards long, a yardstick is 1 yard, and a swimming pool can be around 25 yards in length. It’s a common unit in the United States and the UK for measuring land and fabrics.
To convert between Nautical Mile (nmi) and Yard (yd), use the following formulas:
1 Nautical Mile (nmi) = 2025.3718285214347 Yard (yd)
1 Yard (yd) = 0.0004937365010799136 Nautical Mile (nmi)
1 nmi = 1 * 2025.3718285214347 yd = 2025.3718285214347 yd
5 nmi = 5 * 2025.3718285214347 yd = 10126.859142607174 yd
10 nmi = 10 * 2025.3718285214347 yd = 20253.71828521435 yd
20 nmi = 20 * 2025.3718285214347 yd = 40507.4365704287 yd
50 nmi = 50 * 2025.3718285214347 yd = 101268.59142607174 yd
100 nmi = 100 * 2025.3718285214347 yd = 202537.18285214348 yd
