A geometric mile, also known as a nautical mile, is a unit of measurement used in navigation and aviation. It is based on the circumference of the Earth and is equivalent to one minute of latitude, which is approximately 1.15078 statute miles or 1,852 meters. This unit is particularly useful because it allows for more accurate calculations over the curved surface of the Earth. The geometric mile is not commonly used in everyday measurements, as the standard mile is more prevalent.
