Vara de Tarea


The vara de tarea is a traditional Spanish and Latin American unit of area used especially in land measurement and agriculture. It combines the vara, a unit of length, with the tarea, a unit of area.



  • The vara is roughly 33 inches (about 0.84 meters), though it varies by region.



  • A tarea typically refers to an area equal to 100 square varas, but this can differ locally.



  • Therefore, a vara de tarea is often used to express land area based on square varas.



This unit remains in use in some rural parts of Latin America for land deeds and agricultural measurements, reflecting historical Spanish colonial measurement systems.

Nautical Mile (International)


A nautical mile (international) is a unit of measurement used primarily in maritime and aviation contexts. It is defined as 1,852 meters or 1.852 kilometers, which is approximately 1.1508 statute miles. The nautical mile is based on the Earth's geometry, representing one minute of latitude along any meridian. This makes it particularly useful for navigation, as distances on charts and GPS systems often relate directly to degrees of latitude and longitude. The international nautical mile was officially adopted by the United States in 1954 and is now used worldwide for consistency in global navigation. It is closely linked with the knot, a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. The standardization of the nautical mile has greatly simplified communication and coordination in international travel, trade, and defense across oceans and airspace. Its use continues to be essential in global navigation systems today.
