When measuring distance or postiton, how much is a "click?"?

Question

I always hear it in movies. "Two clicks to the northeast." or "Three clicks to the left" Etc.

Answer 1

A 'click' can be a kilometer or it can refer to a unit of angular neasurement of 1 minute. So two clicks to the northeast would be 2 kilometers and
three clicks to the left would be 3 detent clicks left on a gun sight.
