Nautical Miles to Kilometers

One nautical mile equals exactly 1.852 kilometers. The nautical mile is based on the Earth's circumference: one arc-minute of latitude ≈ 1 nautical mile.

Common conversions:

• 1 nmi = 1.852 km
• 10 nmi = 18.52 km
• 100 nmi = 185.2 km
• 1000 nmi = 1852 km

Why Nautical Miles?

Nautical miles are used in aviation and maritime navigation because they correspond directly to degrees of latitude on the Earth's surface. One degree of latitude = 60 nautical miles. This makes navigation charts and GPS coordinates directly compatible with distance calculations.

Knots and Speed

Speed in navigation is measured in knots: 1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour. A typical commercial aircraft cruises at about 450–500 knots (833–926 km/h). A ship cruises at 10–15 knots (18.5–27.8 km/h).
