Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (league [UK]) The league became a common unit of measurement throughout western Europe, although its length varied greatly from region to region. It was originally intended to represent the distance a person could walk in an hour. In many cases it was equal to 3 miles, (note that the definition of a mile also varied from region to region). At sea, the league was often equal to 3 nautical miles, which is 1/20 degree or 5556 meters (metres). In the USA and Great Britain, the league is defined to be 3 statute miles on land, or 3 nautical miles at sea. Unit Definition (yoctometer) The yoctometre (or yoctometer), symbol: ym, is a decimal fraction of a metre, from the International System of Units. One yoctometre is 1x10-24 (1e-24) in scientific notation. Very small!
