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.

Kiloparsec

A kiloparsec (kpc) is a unit of distance used in astronomy equal to 1,000 parsecs, or about 3,260 light-years. It is commonly used to measure distances within and between galaxies. For example, the Milky Way galaxy is about 30 kiloparsecs in diameter. Kiloparsecs help astronomers describe large-scale structures in space more conveniently than using light-years alone. The symbol for kiloparsec is "kpc". It’s an important unit for understanding the size and scale of galaxies and their components.
