While mile is a unit of distance on land, a nautical mile is used to measure distances at sea. 1 nautical mile = 1.151 mi. 1  Kilometer vs Mile.  Celsius vs Fahrenheit.
Because, just like in sailing on the open ocean, when you are traveling a long distance you want to use a unit of length that is directly related to latitude and longitude. The nautical mile is one minute of latitude. Knowing your latitude you also know the factor to determine what one minute of longitude is. Therefore, using nautical miles for length and knots (nautical mile per hour) makes common sense when navigating and traveling long distances. Keep those silly kilometers and standard-miles for people walking and driving cars.
