In Eragon how much is a league?

Answer 1

A league is not a measure of depth, it is a measure of distance. It is the distance a group of Roman soldiers could march in one day, possibly close to 50 miles. The title "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" refers to the distance the submarine Nautilus traveled in the course of the story.

Answer 2

A league is 3.0 statute miles or 4.8 kilometers. Therefore, 20,000 leagues under the sea would be 60,000 miles. Since the earth is only 7926.28 miles in diameter at the equator, 60,000 miles would put you 12073.72 miles in space on the other side of the globe.

Answer

Travelling 20,000 leagues under the sea is no different to travelling 100,000 km in a car, all along roads with no space travel involved.

Answer 3

A league is an ancient measure of distance, usually the distance a person can walk in an hour, or approximately 3 miles.

It has never been an official unit of measure, but has often been used in poetic language, a well-known example being Tennysons "The Charge of the Light Brigade" -

Half a league, half a league, half a league omwards...

Answer 4

A league is approximately 3 miles. It is not just a measure of depth. The title of Jules Verne novel "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" does not refer to a point that is 20,000 leagues deep, but rather the distance that the submarine Nautilus traveled in its journey over the course of the book, which was traversed while the craft was submerged. Approximately 60,000 miles - under the sea's surface.
