A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. [2] [3] [4] Historically, it was defined as the meridian arc length corresponding to one minute ( 1 / 60 of a degree) of latitude at the equator, so that Earth's polar circumference is very near to 21,600 nautical miles (that is 60 minutes × 360 degrees).
The mile, sometimes the international mile or statute mile to distinguish it from other miles, is a British imperial unit and United States customary unit of length; both are based on the older English unit of length equal to 5,280 English feet, or 1,760 yards.
where a B = 0.053 nm is the Bohr radius, m is the mass, μ is the reduced mass, and ε r is the size-dependent dielectric constant (relative permittivity). This results in the increase in the total emission energy (the sum of the energy levels in the smaller band gaps in the strong confinement regime is larger than the energy levels in the band ...
The A-3 had a range extended to 2,500 nautical miles (4,600 kilometres) and a new weapon bay housing three Mk 2 re-entry vehicles (ReB or Re-Entry Body in U.S. Navy and British usage); and the new W-58 warhead of 200 kt yield. This arrangement was originally described as a "cluster warhead" but was replaced with the term Multiple Re-Entry ...
Starting in January 1864, many bands and their leaders—Barboncito, Armijo, and finally in 1866 Manuelito—surrendered or were captured and made what is called the "Long Walk" to the Bosque Redondo reservation at Fort Sumner, New Mexico. Between 1000-2000 Navajo evaded capture and never surrendered, taking refuge in the Grand Canyon, Black ...
Scottish inch The Scottish inch was 25.44 mm, almost the same as the English (and modern international) inch (25.40 mm). [2] A fraudulent smaller inch of 1 ⁄ 42 ell (22.4 mm) is also recorded.
The resulting values can be divided by 10 to convert them into astronomical units (AU), resulting in the expression: a = 0.4 + 0.3 × 2 n . {\displaystyle a=0.4+0.3\times 2^{n}~.} For the far outer planets, beyond Saturn , each planet is predicted to be roughly twice as far from the Sun as the previous object.
Old Town occupies an area of about 0.8 square miles (2.1 km 2), roughly bounded by Rio Grande Boulevard, Mountain Road, 19th Street, and Central Avenue. [4] At the center is Old Town Plaza, surrounded by approximately ten blocks of one- and two-story buildings.
