About these units

Megameter (Mm)

The megameter, measuring one million meters (1,000 kilometers), is useful for describing large geographical or geophysical distances on planetary scales. Earth's radius (approximately 6.37 Mm) and the thickness of atmospheric layers can be expressed effectively in megameters. This unit provides a clean and compact way to represent massive distances without resorting to scientific notation. The megameter also appears in discussions of communication signals, satellite orbits, and especially planetary science. While kilometers are still more common in public-facing contexts, megameters offer a more mathematically elegant representation for large calculations. They provide a middle ground between human-scale geography and astronomical units.

Nautical League (UK) (nl (UK))

This older British unit corresponds to 3 UK nautical miles, or 18,240 feet (about 5,563.6 meters), slightly longer than the international version. Before international standardization, distances in British naval operations were often recorded using UK nautical leagues, especially in long-range maritime planning. Like other historical British units, the UK nautical league reflects the era when each naval power maintained its own measurement standards. While no longer used for navigation, it appears in historic ship logs, naval battles, and exploration records—especially for events predating the 20th century. For historians, the distinction between the UK league and the international one is critical to accurate interpretation of maritime distances.
