What is the international nautical mile used for?

It is a unit of length used for measuring geodetic and navigational distances, often in marine and aeronautical charts.

Why does the vara de tarea's length vary?

Its size depends on local historical definitions since it is a regional variant used mainly in Spanish-speaking areas for land surveying.

Can this tool be used for modern land surveying?

It is primarily for interpreting historical measurements; modern surveying should refer to current standardized units.

How is vessel speed related to the nautical mile?

Speeds are expressed in knots, where 1 knot equals 1 nautical mile per hour.

Is the conversion rate fixed for all vara de tarea?

No, the conversion rate depends on the exact regional length of the vara de tarea, which varies historically.
