Chains

A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet or 22 yards. It has historical significance and was widely used in the past for measuring large plots of land, especially in agriculture and real estate. The chain was often employed alongside other traditional units of length, such as rods and links. The use of chains has diminished in modern times, replaced by the metric system or other standard units of measurement. However, in some historical contexts or when dealing with older land survey records, you may still encounter references to measurements in chains.

Nautical Miles

A nautical mile is a unit of measurement used in navigation and maritime contexts. It is based on the circumference of the Earth and is used for measuring distances at sea. One nautical mile is defined as one minute of latitude. Nautical miles are commonly used in navigation, aviation, and maritime operations. Charts and maps used in these fields often have distances measured in nautical miles. The use of nautical miles simplifies navigation calculations, especially over long distances, as it is based on a consistent measurement related to the Earth's size and shape.
