The nautical miles was originally defined based on the human body, making it one of the oldest measurement systems still in use today.
Light travels approximately 299,792,458 meters per second, which means converting between nautical miles and kilometers helps us understand cosmic distances.
The precision required for GPS satellites means they must account for measurements accurate to within centimeters when converting between different length units.
Ancient civilizations used body parts like arms and feet for measurements, which is why many nautical miles and kilometers conversions trace back thousands of years.
