Centimeter / Nautical Mile Units Definition
Centimeter
The centimeter is in common popular use: it allows to represent in a simple way dimensions of human size (less than the meter).In the scientific field, we prefer the meter (base unit of the International System) or the millimeter (widely used in mechanics) to represent lengths of these orders of magnitude.
Nautical Mile
The nautical mile (symbol Ma, NMb, nm, nmi or Nqc) is a unit of measurement of length used in maritime and air navigation, equal by convention to 1,852 metersd, Although not part of the International System of Units, the nautical mile is linked to it since it is defined in relation to the meter2. Historically, it has the average value of a minute of latitude of an arc of a meridian, i.e. 1,851.85 m, which has been rounded by convention to 1,852 m3.
