A statute mile is used as the imperial measurement primarily in the USA and UK for land based distances. The statue mile equates to 1609.3 metres to one decimal place. The nautical mile, as the name suggests, is the predominant unit of measurement in the maritime world e.g. sea travel, air travel. The nautical mile equates to exactly 1852 metres. Thus, 1 nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles
Nautical mile = 6080 feet Statute mile = 5280 feet Difference = 800 feet.
1 foot = 0.3048 meter 1 international nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles = 1.852 kilometers = .99933 U.S nautical mile (obsolete) 1° latitude = 69.047 statute miles = 60 nautical miles = 111.12 kilometers For longitude the conversion is the same as latitude except the value is multiplied by the cosine of the latitude. i got this off a website and it worked for me :]
One second of latitude equals 100.39 feet . . .here is the proof:one degree = 60 Nautical Miles or 69 Statute miles; (conversion factor 69/60 = 1.15)one minute minute = 1 Nautical Mileone second = 1 Nautical Mile / by 60 seconds = 0.01666 of a Nautical Mileuse conversion factor of 1.15 x 0.01666 = 0.019159 x a Statute Mile -->equals (5420 ft X 0.019159) = 100.39 feet per second of latitudeRead more: How_much_distance_on_the_earth's_surface_does_one_second_of_latitude_equals

Nautical mile = 6080 feet Statute mile = 5280 feet Difference = 800 feet.
1 mi = .868976 nautical mile
a nautical mile is 1.852 km and a mile is (statute)1.609344 km so a mile is bigger than a nautical mile

Using GPS coordinates, a minute equals a nautical mile at the equator. A nautical mile is equal to 6,076 feet. A statute mile is equal to 5,280 feet. A minute equals 1.15 statute miles.
1.1508 statute miles and one minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile.
One good sentence with the word 'nautical' is... "A nautical mile is longer than a statute mile." P.S.-Hope this helps
"Knot" is a unit of speed. It means "nautical mile per hour". 1 nautical mile = 1.151515 "statute" mile (regular mile)
