What is a nautical mile (international)?
A nautical mile is 1,852 meters, a bit longer than a land mile. It was chosen because it matches one minute of latitude on the Earth's surface, which makes chart work far easier for sailors and pilots.
Ship and aircraft speeds are given in knots, and one knot is one nautical mile per hour. Because the unit is tied to the shape of the planet, it stays useful anywhere on the globe.
