knots to kilometers per hour
Please provide values below to convert knots [kt] to kilometers per hour [km/h], or change ↔.
knots [kt]
Definition: A knot (kt) is a unit of speed used in aviation, maritime, and meteorological contexts, equal to one nautical mile per hour.
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!
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!

How to Convert knots to kilometers per hour
1 knots [kt] = 1.8520004692 kilometers per hour [km/h]
1 kilometers per hour [km/h] = 0.5399566667 knots [kt]
we use cross multiplication method
knots [kt] → kilometers per hour [km/h]
1 → 1.8520004692
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.8520004692=1*x
by simplifying
x=2.7780007038
