How fast is a knot in mph?

Answer 1

In nautical terms ... sailing and flying ... a "knot" is a unit of speed.

1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour = 1.152 statute ("regular") miles per hour

Answer 2

One knot is 1.15mph

Answer 3

1 knot is approximately 1.15 mph (1.852 km/hr). (A "knot" is one nautical mile per hour, a nautical mile originally being 1 minute of a latitudinal meridian, 1/60th of a degree. By this definition, the Earth's circumference would be 21, 600 nm. The current SI conversion is 1 nm = 1,852 meters.)
1 kn is equal to 1.15077845382964 mph

A knot, or nautical mile (6076 feet), is about 15% longer than a statute mile (5280). So, if you're traveling at a speed of 20 knots in a motor boat, you simply multiply 20 X 1.15 to get 23 mph. To go from mph to knots, multiply mph by about .87 to get knots. One Knot = 1.1507794 MPH (sailors would say 1.15) One MPH = 0. 86897624 Knots (sailors would say 0. 9, but use 0.87 for quick math)

1 (international) knot is equal to 1.150779 mile (statute) per hour (mph)
A knot is equal to 1.15 mph. (1 mph is equal to 0.86 knots)

Answer 4

1 knot = 1.152 mph = 1.85 kph
