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.
Planck Length
The Planck length is the smallest possible unit of length in the universe, approximately 1.6 x 10⁻³⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The Planck length is derived from fundamental physical constants and is named after the physicist Max Planck. It is a fundamental unit in the system of Planck units.
Current Use
The Planck length is a theoretical concept used in quantum gravity and cosmology to describe phenomena at the smallest scales of the universe.
