Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a nautical league (UK)?
-
It is a historical UK maritime unit of length equal to three nautical miles, about 5,556 metres, formerly used in navigation and sea charts.
-
What does a micron measure?
-
A micron is one millionth of a metre, used to measure microscopic dimensions like particles, cells, and thin films.
-
Why convert nautical leagues to microns?
-
Converting these units helps bridge large-scale maritime distances with microscopic scales in scientific research or digital mapping.
Key Terminology
