A nautical mile is about 6076 feet and was defined as 1 arc minute. It was used at sea because the sailors used instruments to measure their position in terms of degrees, minutes and seconds on the earth's surface. So a 1 arc minute was a convenient measurement. Giving 1 degree on the earth's surface a measurement of 60 nautical miles, etc.
