What is a petameter used for?

A petameter is an SI unit equal to 10^15 meters, commonly used to measure vast astronomical distances between stars or interstellar structures.

What does an international nautical league represent?

An international nautical league is a historic maritime length equal to 3 international nautical miles or 5,556 meters, used in older nautical charts and sailing logs.

Why convert petameters to nautical leagues?

Such conversions help compare astronomical distances with historical maritime measurements, useful in archival research and interdisciplinary studies.
