How to Convert Knots to KM/H
Converting knots to kilometers per hour is useful for maritime and aviation speeds. One knot equals exactly 1.852 kilometers per hour.
To convert knots to km/h, multiply the knot value by 1.852. For example, 20 knots x 1.852 = 37.04 km/h. This conversion helps when understanding ship speeds, aircraft velocities, and weather reports in more familiar units.
Knots are the standard unit for nautical and aviation speed worldwide.
