A nautical mile is the length that represents one minute of arc (1/60 degrees) along any latitude or one minute of arc of longitude along the equator.
Unfortunately, the earth is not a perfect sphere so the two measures are different. By international agreement, it has been set at 1,852 metres exactly - which is about 6076 feet (not 6080).
