Question 200Navigation General

The correct answer is B) 6,076 feet. A nautical mile is defined as the length of one minute of arc of latitude, which is approximately 1.852 kilometers or 6,076 feet. This definition is based on the circumference of the Earth and is the standard unit of measurement used in navigation. The other options are incorrect because: A) 1,800 meters is not the correct length of a nautical mile; C) 2,000 yards is equivalent to 1,800 meters, which is not the correct length; and D) 5,280 feet is the length of a statute mile, not a nautical mile.
