kilometers per hour [km/h]
Definition: The kilometer per hour (km/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance traveled in kilometers per unit of time in hours.
Historyandorigin: This unit is widely used in countries that employ the metric system, especially for speed limits and vehicle speeds.
CurrentUse: It is used in road traffic regulation, particularly for cars, trucks, and trains in many countries around the world.
funfact: The average speed of a city bus is typically around 20-30 km/h in urban areas!
knots [kt]

Historyandorigin: The unit originated with sailors, as it was based on the distance traveled over the earth's surface measured in nautical miles.
CurrentUse: It is used in aviation and maritime navigation to measure speed, and also in meteorology for wind speeds.
funfact: One knot is equal to 1.852 kilometers per hour or 1.15078 miles per hour!

How to Convert kilometers per hour to knots
1 kilometers per hour [km/h] = 0.5399566667 knots [kt]
1 knots [kt] = 1.8520004692 kilometers per hour [km/h]
we use cross multiplication method
kilometers per hour [km/h] → knots [kt]
1 → 0.5399566667
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.5399566667=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.809935
