Nautical League (Int.)
The international nautical league is a unit of length equal to three international nautical miles.
History/Origin
The international nautical league is based on the international nautical mile, which was defined as exactly 1,852 meters by international agreement in 1929.
Current Use
The nautical league is not a commonly used unit, with distances at sea typically being expressed in nautical miles.
Parsec
A parsec is a unit of length used to measure the large distances to astronomical objects outside the Solar System, approximately equal to 3.26 light-years. It is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond.
History/Origin
The term "parsec" is a portmanteau of "parallax" and "second," coined by British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner in 1913.
Current Use
The parsec is the preferred unit of distance in astronomy and astrophysics for expressing the distances to stars and galaxies.
