Answer 1
An air mile is defined as an international nautical mile, or 6076.115 feet. As such 100 air miles must be 6076.115*100=607611.5 feet. There are 5280 feet in a land mile, so 607611.5/5280=115.077935606 standard miles. Which would be rounded to 115.078 miles.
Answer 2
It is not possible to determine exactly, but approximately, it is about 115 road/land miles.
150 air miles is about 172.6 land miles.
One land mile equals 0.868 air miles. In turn, one air miles equals 1.15 land miles.
1,342 land mils so 1,082 air miles
100 miles
One statute (land) mile equates to ~0.87 air/nautical miles. So, multiply 'land' miles by 0.87 to get air/nautical miles:12.72 x 0.87 = ~11.06 air miles.
Yes. An air mile is 6,076.115 feet. A 'land' mile is 5,280 feet.
wouldn't it be the same for land miles too? counting water?>
There is no direct conversion method for changing air miles to land miles. Air miles typically represent the shortest distance between two places, since planes don't need to follow the roads. There are almost always more land miles between places, since roads must go around many obstacles such a buildings, mountains, and lakes. To determine how many land miles are between two places, look at a map and go by the distance as indicated by the roads.
Nautical miles are used as a distance measurement both in the air and on the sea, but not so often on the ground. So if "air miles" refers to the statute miles that we use over land, then a nautical mile is about 15% longer. Therefore, to convert one to the other, multiply by 1.15. 1 nm = 1.15 miles 100 nm = 115 miles 20 nm = 23 miles and so on.
About 1,800 miles by land, 1,572 miles by air.
Los Angeles, California (US) -- Santa Fe, New Mexico (US): * by air: 706 miles * on land: 848 miles
1,072 air miles.
