About "6080 Feet in a Nautical Mile"
A nautical mile measures 6,080 feet, a distance based on the circumference of the Earth and used primarily in marine and air navigation. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, this measurement evolved from the need for accurate sea navigation and corresponds to one minute of latitude. The U.S. Naval Observatory documents how this system became international standard in 1929. Modern GPS and aviation systems still use nautical miles for distance calculations. The nautical mile represents humanity's effort to create practical measurement systems based on Earth's geometry for safe maritime and aerial navigation.
