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.

Lightyears

A light-year is a unit of astronomical distance, and it represents the distance that light travels in one year through the vacuum of space. Light travels at a speed of approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) in a vacuum. The light-year is commonly used in astronomy to measure distances on a cosmic scale because of the vast distances involved in space. For example, the distance to nearby stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects is often expressed in terms of light-years due to the impracticality of using more familiar units like kilometers or miles for such immense distances.
