Nautical League

A nautical league is a unit of distance once used at sea, mainly by sailors and navigators. It equals 3 nautical miles, which is about 5.56 kilometers or 3.45 miles. Nautical leagues were used to measure longer distances during voyages before modern navigation tools became common. While the nautical mile is still widely used today in maritime and aviation navigation, the nautical league is mostly obsolete and rarely used.

Kilometer

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the metric system, used to measure long distances. One kilometer equals 1,000 meters or about 0.62 miles. Kilometers are commonly used to measure distances between cities, in road signs, and in running or walking events. For example, a marathon is 42.195 kilometers long. The symbol for kilometer is "km". Most countries around the world use kilometers instead of miles for speed and distance, especially in transportation. Because it covers a large distance, the kilometer is not used for measuring small objects but is perfect for travel and mapping.
