Convert nautical mile (international) to micron
Please provide values below to convert nautical mile (international) [NM] to micron [µ], or Convert micron to nautical mile (international).
1 NM = 1852000000 µ. To convert nautical mile (international) to micron, multiply the value by 1852000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µ = 5.3996e-10 NM). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 NM = 1852000000 µ
- 1 µ = 5.3996e-10 NM

Nautical Mile (International)
The international nautical mile is a unit of length used in marine and air navigation, defined as exactly 1,852 meters.
History/Origin
Historically, a nautical mile was defined as one minute of arc of latitude. The international nautical mile was defined by the First International Extraordinary Hydrographic Conference in Monaco in 1929. The United States adopted it in 1954, and the United Kingdom in 1970.
Current Use
The nautical mile is used for maritime and aviation purposes worldwide.
Micron
A micron is a non-SI name for micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967 and are now discouraged.
Current Use
While the term micrometer is the officially recognized term, "micron" is still used in some industries and in casual speech.
