NAUTICAL MILE - TRIVIA
A nautical mile is a measurement used internationally. It is based on the 360 degrees around the equator. Each degree is divided into 60 minutes and each minute of the circumference equals one nautical mile. Therefore the measurement of speed across a body of water, called the knot, means nautical miles per hour.
