Nautical Mile (International)
The international nautical mile is a unit of length used in marine and air navigation, defined as exactly 1,852 meters.
History/Origin
Historically, a nautical mile was defined as one minute of arc of latitude. The international nautical mile was defined by the First International Extraordinary Hydrographic Conference in Monaco in 1929. The United States adopted it in 1954, and the United Kingdom in 1970.
Current Use
The nautical mile is used for maritime and aviation purposes worldwide.
Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
