About Nautical Mile (nmi)

Equal to exactly 1,852 meters, the nautical mile corresponds to one minute of latitude along any meridian, making it inherently tied to Earth's geometry.

About Fathom (ftm)

Traditionally equal to 6 feet (1.8288 meters), the fathom originated as the span of a sailor's outstretched arms and has been used for centuries to measure water depth. Nautical charts and depth soundings still reference fathoms in many maritime traditions, and Mark Twain's pen name came from the riverboat call 'mark twain' meaning two fathoms.
