Why is a nautical mile longer than a land mile?
The nautical mile is longer than a regular mile as it is based on the Earth's coordinates of longitude and latitude, with one nautical mile equal to one minute of latitude. When converted into familiar land measurements, a nautical unit of length equates to 1.15078 land miles or 1.852 kilometers.
Nautical miles are used for charting and navigating.
