What is an international nautical mile?

It is a unit of length defined exactly as 1,852 meters and is used for geodetic and navigational distances.

Why convert nautical miles to feet?

Converting to feet expresses navigational distances in a more granular and familiar unit used in construction, aviation, and daily measurements.

Is the foot used worldwide?

No, the foot is mainly used in imperial and U.S. customary measurement systems and is not universally adopted globally.
