[3] Summit Hill is located 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Jim Thorpe and 1 mile south of Lansford. Summit Hill's elevation varies from 1,520 ...
The state has 11,037 inland lakes comprising 1,305 square miles (3,380 km 2) of inland water. No point in Michigan is more than 6 miles (9.7 km) from an inland lake or more than 85 miles (137 km) from one of the Great Lakes. [5] The state's numerous rivers are generally short and shallow, though several are navigable by recreational watercraft.
The largest unit for expressing distances across space at that time was the astronomical unit, equal to the radius of the Earth's orbit at 150 million kilometres (93 million miles). In those terms, trigonometric calculations based on 61 Cygni's parallax of 0.314 arcseconds, showed the distance to the star to be 660 000 astronomical units (9.9 ...
The physical group size equivalent to m minutes of arc can be calculated as follows: group size = tan( m / 60 ) × distance. In the example previously given, for 1 minute of arc, and substituting 3,600 inches for 100 yards, 3,600 tan( 1 / 60 ) ≈ 1.047 inches. In metric units 1 MOA at 100 metres ≈ 2.908 centimetres.
Residential properties of 0.125 acres or less makes up 1.6 square miles (4.47%) of the watershed and commercial land occupies 1.15 square miles (3.2%). 1.06 square miles (2.96%) of the watershed is occupied by a combination of forested and mining lands and 0.86 (2.4%) is occupied by a combination of industrial and commercial land. 0.8 square ...

In the United States, only Denali exceeds 6000 meters (19,685 feet) elevation. Four major summits exceed 5000 meters (16,404 feet), nine exceed 4500 meters (14,764 feet), 104 exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet), 246 exceed 3500 meters (11,483 feet), and the following 477 major summits exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet) elevation.
FASL – feet above sea level [6] MAMSL – metres above mean sea level [5] MASL – metres above sea level [5] [6] MSL – mean sea level [7] For elevations or altitudes, often just the abbreviation MSL is used, e.g., Mount Everest (8849 m MSL), or the reference to sea level is omitted completely, e.g., Mount Everest (8849 m).
