Centimeter (cm)
Definition: A centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter (0.01 m) in the metric system. It provides a practical scale for everyday measurements.
History: Introduced with the metric system in 1795, the centimeter was designed to bridge the gap between the meter (too large for small objects) and the millimeter (too small for casual use). Its definition inherits all revisions of the meter.
Current use: Widely used globally (except in the US) for measuring body height, clothing sizes, and household objects. Common in medical settings (e.g., tumor sizes) and engineering drawings.
Nautical Mile
Definition: A nautical mile (symbol: nmi or M) is 1,852 meters or approximately 1.1508 statute miles. It is based on Earth’s circumference and used in navigation.
History: Developed from the geographical mile (1 minute of latitude). The international nautical mile was standardized in 1929 for maritime and aviation use.
Current use: Globally adopted for sea navigation (nautical charts), aviation (flight plans), and maritime law (e.g., 12-nautical-mile territorial limit).
