Explanation

knots and miles per hour are units of speed. Knots are commonly used for maritime and aviation speeds. Miles per hour are used in the United States and the United Kingdom for road speeds. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 knots = 1.150779448 miles per hour, and 1 miles per hour = 0.8689762419 knots. Because one miles per hour represents a smaller amount than one knots, the numeric value gets larger in this direction.

How to convert knots to miles per hour

  1. Enter the value in knots (kn).
  2. Multiply it by 1.150779448.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in miles per hour (mph).
  4. Round the result if needed.
