How the Nautical Miles to Miles Calculator Works
A nautical mile is based on the size of the Earth — one minute of latitude — and equals exactly 1,852 metres, or about 1.15078 statute (land) miles. This calculator converts nautical miles to statute miles, kilometres, feet and metres.
Nautical miles are used in aviation and marine navigation because they map neatly onto latitude and longitude. So 100 nautical miles is about 115 statute miles.
statute miles = nautical miles × 1.15078
