What is the UK nautical mile (NM UK)?

It is a historical unit defined as exactly 6,080 feet or 1,853.184 metres, used primarily in UK maritime contexts.

Why convert UK nautical miles to Bohr radius?

This conversion helps relate large historical maritime distances to atomic-scale units used in quantum chemistry and physics.

Is the UK nautical mile still commonly used?

No, it is mainly historical and has been replaced by the international nautical mile in most applications.
