How to convert knots to kilometres per hour?

To convert knots to kilometers per hour (km/h), you use the following conversion factor: 1 knot is equal to 1.852 kilometers per hour.

Therefore, to convert 1 knot to kilometers per hour: 1 knot=1.852 km/h1 \text{ knot} = 1.852 \text{ km/h}

Real World Examples

  1. 10 knots: 10 knots=10×1.852 km/h=18.52 km/h10 \text{ knots} = 10 \times 1.852 \text{ km/h} = 18.52 \text{ km/h} This could be the typical speed of a sailing yacht.

  2. 20 knots: 20 knots=20×1.852 km/h=37.04 km/h20 \text{ knots} = 20 \times 1.852 \text{ km/h} = 37.04 \text{ km/h} This is a common speed for a small motorboat.

  3. 30 knots: 30 knots=30×1.852 km/h=55.56 km/h30 \text{ knots} = 30 \times 1.852 \text{ km/h} = 55.56 \text{ km/h} This speed might be associated with a fast ferry or a naval patrol boat.

  4. 50 knots: 50 knots=50×1.852 km/h=92.6 km/h50 \text{ knots} = 50 \times 1.852 \text{ km/h} = 92.6 \text{ km/h} This could be similar to the speed of a high-performance racing boat.

  5. 100 knots: 100 knots=100×1.852 km/h=185.2 km/h100 \text{ knots} = 100 \times 1.852 \text{ km/h} = 185.2 \text{ km/h} At this speed, you're looking at the cruising speed of a commercial aircraft during flight.

These conversions and examples illustrate practical instances of speed in knots, ranging from leisurely sailboats to fast-moving aircraft.

What is Knots?

Knot measures speed. This unit is used in meteorology, aviation and maritime. Its uses the symbol kt or kn and is equal to number of nautical mile per hour.

Knots can be calculated using following formula. Please note that tt is in hours

kn=xtkn = \frac{x}{t}

or

1kn=1nmih=1.852kmh1 kn = 1 \frac{nmi}{h} = 1.852 \frac{km}{h}

knkn - Knots nminmi - Nautical mile
kmkm - Kilometres
xx - Number of knots
tt - Time in hours

What is Kilometres per hour?

Kilometres (or Kilometers) per hour measures speed. This unit of speed measures how many Kilometres traveled in one hour. Its is part of the SI units system. Commonly, express as km/h, or kph.

Kilometres per hour can be calculated using following formula. Please note that tt is in hours

kph=xtkph = \frac{x}{t}

kphkph - Kilometres per hour
xx - Number of kilometres
hh - Hour
tt - Time in hours
