What is Knot?
The knot (symbol: kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour.
One knot is exactly 1.852 kilometers per hour or approximately 1.151 miles per hour.
Common Uses
The knot is used globally in meteorology and for air and maritime navigation. It is the standard unit for expressing wind speeds and the speed of ships and aircraft.
What is Meter/second?
Meter per second (symbol: m/s) is an SI derived unit of speed and velocity.
It represents the distance in meters traveled in one second.
Common Uses
The meter per second is the standard unit of speed used in physics, scientific research, and engineering. It is also often used for wind speed in meteorology.
How many meter/second are in a knot?
