What is a nautical league (UK)?

It is a historical maritime length unit equaling three nautical miles, historically used in British navigation to express sea distances.

What does the megameter measure?

The megameter is an SI derived unit representing 1,000,000 metres, used to express very large terrestrial and planetary distances.

Why convert nautical leagues to megameters?

Converting allows historical maritime distances to be expressed in modern SI units for scientific research, mapping, and engineering applications.
