How to convert microns to nautical miles
1 micron is equal to 5.399568035 × 10⁻¹⁰ nautical miles, and 1 nautical mile (international) is equal to 1,852,000,000 microns. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nautical miles = microns × 5.399568035 × 10⁻¹⁰
nautical miles = microns ÷ 1,852,000,000Example: convert 1 µ to NM: 1 × 5.399568035 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 5.399568035 × 10⁻¹⁰ NM.

About the micron
The micron is the older name for the micrometer (one millionth of a meter). It's still common in filtration, semiconductor manufacturing and particle sizes.
Symbol: µ · 1 µ = 0.000001 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the nautical mile (international)
The international nautical mile is exactly 1,852 m, close to one minute of latitude. It's used in aviation, shipping and for territorial waters, and one knot is one nautical mile per hour.
