What is an international nautical mile?

It is a unit of length defined exactly as 1,852 meters, traditionally equal to one minute of arc of latitude on the Earth, commonly used for marine and aerial navigation.

What is the Bohr radius used for?

The Bohr radius is an atomic unit of length representing the typical distance between the nucleus and electron in a hydrogen atom’s ground state, used mainly in quantum chemistry and atomic-level calculations.

Why convert nautical miles to Bohr radius?

This conversion helps bridge macroscopic geodetic distances with atomic-scale measurements to support calculations in quantum chemistry, computational physics, and atomic models.
