(Askeri) DENİZ MİLİ: Arz yüzeyinde bir dakikalık daire yayına eşit olan bir mesafe ölçüsü. ABD, 1.852 metre veya 6,076.11549 fite eşit olan milletlerarası deniz milini kabul etmiştir
A unit of length corresponding approximately to one minute of arc of latitude along any meridian. By international agreement it is exactly 1,852 metres (approximately 6,076 feet)
A unit of distance used principally in navigation For practical navigation it is usually considered the length of 1 minute of any great circle of the earth, the meridian being the great circle most commonly used Also called sea mile
The length of one minute of arc along any great circle on the earth's surface Since this actual distance varies slightly with latitude, a nautical mile by international agreement is defined as 1852 meters or 6076 feet (1 15 miles)
A nautical mile is based on the circumference of the Earth If you were to cut the Earth in half at the equator, you could pick up one of the halves and look at the equator as a circle You could divide that circle into 360 degrees You could then divide a degree into 60 minutes A minute of arc on the planet Earth is one nautical mile This unit of measurement is used by all nations for air and sea travel A nautical mile is equivalent to 1 1508 miles, 6,076 feet, or1,852 meters (From How Stuff Works)
On salt water, a nautical mile is a unit about 1/7th longer than the land or statute mile with which we are more familiar The international nautical mile is slightly more than 6076 feet, whereas the statute mile used on shore and fresh water bodies is 5280 feet Nautical miles are used to measure distance The unit used to measure speed is the knot, which equals on nautical mile per hour
A nautical mile is a unit of measurement used at sea. It is equal to 1852 metres. A unit of length used in sea and air navigation, based on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle, especially an international and U.S. unit equal to 1,852 meters (about 6,076 feet). Also called sea mile. a unit for measuring distance at sea, equal to about 1.15 miles or 1852 metres
The unit of geographical distance used on "salt-water" charts 1 nautical mile corresponds exactly to 1 minute of angular distance on the meridian (adjacent left and right side of a sea chart) This facilitates navigation as it avoids a complicated conversion from angle to distance 1 nautical mile equals 1 852 kilometers 60 minutes equal 1 degree
a unit of length used in navigation; equivalent to the distance spanned by one minute of arc in latitude; 1,852 meters a British unit of length equivalent to 1,853
A unit of length used in marine navigation that is equal to a minute of arc of a great circle on a sphere One international nautical mile is equivalent to 1,852 meters or 1 151 statue miles
A unit of distance (U S ) equal to exactly 1 852 kilometers or about 6076 1 feet A nautical mile is approximately equal to 1/60 of a degree or 1 minute of arc of a great circle of the Earth (i e , 1 minute of arc of latitude or of longitude at the equator)
The nautical mile is 6080 feet and is derived by dividing the distance from the North Pole to the Equator into 90° and then into 60' (minutes) for each degree Thus there are five thousand four hundred minutes from the North Pole to the Equator Each minute of latitude is equal to a nautical mile
Closely related to the geographical mile which is defined as the length of one minute of arc on the earth's equator By international agreement, the nautical mile is now defined as 1852 meters
According to Websters: any of various units of distance used for sea and air navigation; an international unit equal to 6076 115 feet (1852 meters); about 1/8 longer than the statute mile of 5280 feet
The nautical mile is closely related to the geographical mile which is defined as the length of one minute of arc on the earth's equator By international agreement, the nautical mile is now defined as 1852 meters
A unit of length used principally in navigation Originally equal to the length of one minute of arc of a meridian but as this varies slightly with latitude, it is now internationally agreed as equal to 1852m
