Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a nautical mile (international)?
-
It is a unit of length defined exactly as 1,852 meters, historically based on one minute of arc of latitude on Earth, mainly used for marine and aeronautical navigation.
-
What is the X-unit [X] used for?
-
The X-unit [X] is a historical length measurement used in X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy to express X-ray wavelengths and interatomic spacings.
-
Why convert nautical miles to X-units [X]?
-
Such conversions allow comparing large-scale navigational distances with microscopic X-ray wavelength measurements for scientific or historical analysis.
