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).
Meter (m)
Definition: A meter, or metre (symbol: m), is the base unit of length and distance in the International System of Units (SI). The meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/299,792,458 of a second. This definition was slightly modified in 2019 to reflect changes in the definition of the second.
History: Originally, in 1793, the meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. This changed in 1889, when the International Prototype Metre was established as the length of a prototype meter bar (made of an alloy of 90% platinum and 10% iridium) measured at the melting point of ice. In 1960, the meter was redefined in terms of wavelengths of krypton-86. The current definition (based on the speed of light) was adopted in 1983.
Current use: As the SI unit of length, the meter is used worldwide in science, engineering, and daily life for measuring distance, height, and dimensions. The United States is a notable exception, still primarily using US customary units (feet, miles) for non-scientific applications.
