About these units
Nautical Mile (nmi)
- Definition
- A nautical mile (nmi) equals exactly 1,852 meters and corresponds to one minute of latitude along a meridian.
- History
- It was defined by its relationship to the Earth’s circumference and standardised internationally in 1929.
- Current use
- Nautical miles are used in marine and air navigation; one knot equals one nautical mile per hour.
Micrometer (µm)
- Definition
- A micrometer or micron (µm) is one millionth of a meter, used to measure microscopic objects.
- History
- The term "micron" was officially adopted in 1879 and renamed micrometer by the SI in 1967.
- Current use
- Micrometers describe cell sizes, bacteria, fibres, and semiconductor and optical manufacturing tolerances.
