Furlong

fur

The furlong equals 201.168 meters or 1/8 of a statute mile. It originated as the length of a medieval English plough furrow — "furrow long". Today it survives mainly in horse racing in the UK, Ireland and North America, where race distances are typically 5 to 12 furlongs.

Real-world: The Epsom Derby is run over 1 mile and 4 furlongs (about 2.4 km). The Kentucky Derby is 10 furlongs.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

  • 1 nautical mile = 1.852 km = 1.151 statute miles.
  • A knot (1 nmi/h) equals 1.852 km/h — remember this for weather and sailing reports.
  • Latitude is measured in degrees and minutes; one minute of latitude equals exactly one nautical mile.

Avoid these

  • Confusing nautical miles with statute miles — the 15% difference matters in flight planning.
  • Reading knots as km/h on weather reports — a 40-knot wind is 74 km/h, not 40.
  • Using nautical miles on land — outside navigation contexts, use kilometres or statute miles.
