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.
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, the nm2rad function assumes your input is a measurement of the Earth, which is represented as a sphere with a radius of 3440.065 nautical miles.
Distance in nautical miles, specified as a numeric array.
Data Types: single | double
Radius of sphere in units of nautical miles, specified as a numeric scalar.
Sphere approximating an object in the Solar System, specified as one of the following
values: 'sun', 'moon',
'mercury', 'venus',
'earth', 'mars', 'jupiter',
'saturn', 'uranus',
'neptune', or 'pluto'. The value of
sphere is case-insensitive.
