What is a nautical league (int.)?

An international nautical league is a historical maritime length unit equal to 3 international nautical miles, or 5,556 meters, used to express sea distances in past centuries.

What does a kiloparsec measure?

A kiloparsec is an astronomical length unit equal to 1,000 parsecs, commonly used to describe large-scale interstellar and intergalactic distances.

Why convert nautical leagues to kiloparsecs?

This conversion helps relate historical maritime measurements to astronomical distance scales for interdisciplinary research and archival purposes.
