About Nautical Mile (nmi)

A unit of length used in maritime and air navigation, equal to exactly 1,852 meters (about 1.151 statute miles). The nautical mile was defined to equal one minute of arc of latitude along any meridian, making it uniquely useful for chart plotting — one degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles anywhere on Earth. International shipping, commercial aviation, and maritime speed (measured in knots, or nautical miles per hour) all use nautical miles as their native unit because the math of navigation is dramatically simpler than with statute miles.

About Yard (yd)

An imperial unit of length equal to 3 feet (0.9144 meters). The yard anchors American football field measurements (100 yards between goal lines), fabric and textile cutting, landscaping supplies (cubic yards of soil or mulch), and golf course distances. Historically derived from the stride of a king and later standardized by treaty between the US and UK in 1959, the yard is still the preferred unit in construction estimating and sports broadcasting throughout the imperial-using world.
