Syntax

rad = nm2rad(nm)
rad = nm2rad(nm,radius)
rad = nm2rad(nm,sphere)

Description

example

rad= nm2rad(nm)converts distances from nautical miles to radians, as measured along a great circle on a sphere with a radius of 3440.065 nm, the mean radius of the Earth.

example

rad= nm2rad(nm,radius)converts distances from nautical miles to radians, as measured along a great circle on a sphere having the specified radius.

rad= nm2rad(nm,sphere)converts distances from nautical miles to radians, as measured along a great circle on a sphere approximating an object in the Solar System.

Convert 500 nautical miles to radians, as measured along a great circle on the Earth. By default, thenm2radfunction assumes your input is a measurement of the Earth, which is represented as a sphere with a radius of 3440.065 nautical miles.

rad = nm2rad(500)
rad = 0.1453
