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.
Nanometer (nm)
- Definition
- A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter, the scale of atoms, molecules, and wavelengths of light.
- History
- It combines the SI prefix "nano-" (one billionth) with the meter and became common with the rise of nanotechnology.
- Current use
- Nanometers measure the wavelengths of visible light (about 380–750 nm) and the feature sizes of modern microchips.
