Megameter

A megameter (Mm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1 million meters (1 Mm = 10⁶ meters or 1,000 kilometers). Megameters are used to measure very large distances, typically on a global or planetary scale. For example, the Earth’s diameter is about 12.7 megameters. Although it’s a valid metric unit, the megameter is rarely used in everyday life or science, as kilometers or other astronomical units are more common for such distances.

International Nautical League

The international nautical league is a standardized version of the nautical league used in maritime navigation. It is defined as exactly 3 international nautical miles, which equals 5,556 meters or about 3.45 miles. This standardization helps avoid confusion caused by variations in historical definitions of the league. While the nautical mile remains the primary unit in modern navigation, the international nautical league provides a consistent way to measure longer distances at sea when needed.
