  1. Aug 6, 2024 · While the title suggests a distance of 20,000 leagues, a league is an old measurement approximately equivalent to three miles. Therefore, the characters do not actually travel 20,000 leagues under the sea, but rather cover a staggering 60,000 miles as they explore the ocean depths.

    A league is usually thought of as the distance a person could walk in an hour— 3 miles. However, that’s a land league. A marine league would be 3 nautical miles. According to Webster’s 1913 Dictionary – “The marine league of England and the United States is equal to three marine, or geographical, miles of 6080 feet each.” (per British-American Syst...

    The deepest part of the ocean is about 7 miles. In order to travel to a depth of 72,000 miles in the ocean, the earth would need to be roughly 10,000 times bigger (wider) than it currently is. To put that in context, Jupiter is only 11 times wider than the earth and the sun is only 109 times wider. So, a proportionally scaled earth would need to be...

    My son raised a valid point upon hearing about this. He asked “Isn’t that more than the circumference of the earth?” It turns out that it is, in fact, considerably more. At its widest point (the equator) the earth is 24,901 milesaround (40,075 km). Those are statute miles. So a journey of 20,000 leagues or 60,000 statute miles, would take you aroun...

    The record speed for a submarine is around 33 knots or roughly 38 mph. However, I’m not going to use that measure. Instead, I’m going to use the top speed of the first nuclear submarine – the USS Nautilus– which is 23 knots or roughly 26.5 mph. To go full speed for 60,000 miles, it would take 2264 hours or roughly 94 days, which is much less than I...
