A nautical mile is approximately one minute of arc of latitude along a meridian. To simplify, it is 1.15078 miles, or 1.85200 km as defined by the First International Extraordinary Hydrographic Conference in 1929. This is the generally accepted international length.

How do I turn mils into circular mils?

To convert mils to circular mils, you simply square the mil measurement. Since one circular mil is defined as the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil, you can use the formula: Circular mils = (mils)². For example, if you have a wire with a diameter of 10 mils, the conversion to circular mils would be 10², resulting in 100 circular mils.
