From 1630 to 1718 a millia was 5,564 feet (1,696 metres), making a geographical league of four millias equal 22,256 feet (6,784 m or 3.663 modern nautical miles). But from 1718 through the 1830s the millia was defined as the equivalent of just over 5,210 feet, giving a shorter geographical league of just over 20,842 feet (6,353 m or 3.430 ...
The data mile is used in radar-related subjects and is equal to 6,000 feet (1.8288 kilometres). [90] The radar mile is a unit of time (in the same way that the light year is a unit of distance), equal to the time required for a radar pulse to travel a distance of two miles (one mile each way). Thus, the radar statute mile is 10.8 μs and the ...
kilometre (km) or kilometer is a metric unit used, outside the US, to measure the length of a journey; the international statute mile (mi) is used in the US; 1 mi = 1.609344 km; nautical mile is rarely used to derive units of transportation quantity.
In radar-related subjects and in JTIDS, a data mile is a unit of distance equal to 6,000 feet (1,829 metres; 0.9875 nautical miles; 1.136 miles). An international mile is 0.88 data mile. The speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second (983,571,056 ft/s), or about one foot per nanosecond .
When each equatorial degree was divided into 18 leagues, the geographical mile was equal to 1 / 54 degree or about 2.06 kilometres (1.28 mi); when divided into 20 leagues, the geographical mile was equal to 1 / 60 degree, approximating the values provided above; and when divided into 25 leagues, the geographical mile was equal ...
A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. [2] [3] [4] Historically, it was defined as the meridian arc length corresponding to one minute ( 1 / 60 of a degree) of latitude at the equator, so that Earth's polar circumference is very near to 21,600 nautical miles (that is 60 minutes × 360 degrees).
Washington Mystics co-owner Sheila Johnson has garnered backlash after she gave her two cents on the magazine naming Clark its “Athlete of the Year.”
