What is a league in terms of length?

A league is a historical unit of length used for land and sea distances, typically about 3 statute miles or 3 nautical miles, but its exact length varies by place and era.

Why convert leagues to micrometers?

Converting leagues to micrometers helps reconcile historical distance measurements with modern scientific units, useful in fields like archaeology and precise engineering analysis.

Are leagues part of the SI system?

No, the league is a non-standard, historical unit and not part of the International System of Units (SI).
