Kilometers per hour to Knots Conversion
How to convert kilometers per hour to knots
1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.5399568 knots:
1 km/h = (1/1.852) kn = 0.5399568 kn
When a speed V in kilometers per hour is divided by 1.852, it gives speed in knots.
Vkn = Vkm/h / 1.852
Example
To convert 20 kilometers per hour into knots, it is divided by 1.852:
(20 km/h) / 1.852 = 10.79913607 kn
Kilometers per hour
The kilometers per hour is a unit of speed (scalar quantity) and velocity (vector quantity). It is equal to the distance traveled a body in kilometers in one hour. The SI symbols is km/h, and abbreviations are kph, kmph, km/hr.
Knots
Miles per hour is a unit of speed equal to the number of nautical miles traveled in one hour. One knot is exactly equal to 1.852 km/h. The unit symbols are kn or kt.
A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. Historically, it was defined as one minute (1⁄60 of a degree) of latitude along any line of longitude. Presently, the international nautical mile is defined as exactly 1852 meters.
