What is a nautical mile (international)?

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

A picometer is an SI unit of length equal to 10⁻¹² meters, used to measure extremely small atomic and molecular distances.

Why would I convert nautical miles to picometers?

This conversion is useful for correlating large-scale geographic measurements with atomic-scale scientific data in multi-scale studies.
