What is a centimeter used to measure?

A centimeter is a metric unit used for measuring small to moderate linear distances such as dimensions of everyday objects or human body measurements.

What defines an international nautical mile?

An international nautical mile is exactly 1,852 meters and is commonly used for geodetic distances and navigation.

Why would I convert centimeters to nautical miles?

Converting centimeters to nautical miles helps translate small measurements into large-scale distances useful in marine navigation and aeronautical charting.
