Nautical mile
A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters.

Today the international nautical mile is defined as exactly 1,852 metres (6,076 ft; 1.151 mi). The derived unit of speed is the knot, one nautical mile per hour.
