Nautical Mile (UK)


The nautical mile (UK) is a unit of distance used primarily in maritime and aviation navigation in the United Kingdom. Traditionally, it was defined as 6,080 feet (about 1,853 meters), which is slightly longer than the modern international nautical mile of 1,852 meters. This UK definition was used before international standardization in 1929. Today, the international nautical mile is widely adopted, but the UK nautical mile historically played an important role in navigation and mapping.


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.
