A knot is a nautical unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. The term comes from the old sailing ships where speed was determined by throwing a rope with a wedge shaped piece of wood tied to one end over the stern of the ship, and counting the number of equally spaced knots tied in the rope that fed out during a set amount of time. It is equal to 1.15 MPH or 1.85 km/h.
If you want to know the particulars, the knots were tied 14.4 meters apart and the sand clock measured out thirty seconds. One sailor threw the end of the rope into the sea while the other turned the timer over. The first sailor counted the number of knots passing through his hand until the other sailor told him to stop at the end of thirty seconds.
A nautical mile is the distance spanned by one minute of arc along a north south line passing through the north pole (a meridian), and is equal to 1.15 statute miles.
The statute mile is so named because it was standardized by an act of Parliament in 1593, i.e., a statute.
A km (kilometer) is an SI (Systeme International) unit for distance equal to 100 meters, a little less than 2/3 of a mile (0.62 mile to be more precise). The meter was originally standardized as one ten millionth of the distance along a line from the north pole passing through Lyons France (a meridian).
1 mile is about 1.609344 km Therefore the difference between 1 mile and 1 km is about .609344 km
1knot = 1.852 km per hour.
1 knot = 1.852 km/h
1 knot equates to 1.852 km/h

Miles are a measurement of distance, a knot is a measurement of speeed.
A "knot" is the measurment of speed for ships and boats in the water. 1 knot is 1.150779 mph 1 knot is 1.852 km/h
km is a measurement of length, while a square km is a unit of area.
A lump is like a bump in a road, while a knot is wire, or or any string tied up, just like when you tie your shoe.
1 km = 1000 meters 1 meter = 0.001 km
The difference between them is 3,600 meters.4 km is ten times as long as 400 m.
A knot is 1.852 km/h, so you just divide km/h by this number to get knots.A knot is 1.852 km/h, so you just divide km/h by this number to get knots.A knot is 1.852 km/h, so you just divide km/h by this number to get knots.A knot is 1.852 km/h, so you just divide km/h by this number to get knots.
