Kilometer per hour to Knot

How it is calculated

Each unit is defined via the base unit (meter per second (m/s)). The value is first converted to the base unit, then to the selected unit.

1 km/h = 0.277777777778 m/s

1 kn = 0.514444444444 m/s

1 km/h × 0.277777777778 = 0.277777777778 m/s

0.277777777778 m/s ÷ 0.514444444444 = 0.539956803456 kn
