About these units
Knot (kt)
A knot is equal to one nautical mile per hour, or 1.852 km/h, and is the standard unit of speed in aviation and maritime navigation. Knots are intimately linked to navigation because nautical miles represent distances along Earth's spherical surface. A ship or aircraft traveling at 1 knot moves over one minute of arc of latitude in one hour—reflecting its origins in astronomical navigation. Using knots allows mariners and pilots to integrate seamlessly with charts, headings, coordinate systems, and wind speed conventions. The unit symbolizes centuries of seafaring tradition and remains indispensable for global navigation.
Mile/Hour (mi/h)
The mile per hour represents the number of miles traveled in one hour and is commonly used in the United States, the UK (in road contexts), and several other countries with legacy imperial systems. mph is deeply woven into cultural habits: driver training, speed limits, vehicular performance, and even athletic achievements are often expressed in miles per hour. In science and engineering, however, mph is rarely used because the mile and hour are not SI units. Still, mph retains strong emotional and historical associations—for example, the significance of a car "breaking 200 mph" or the legendary "88 mph" in popular culture. It persists because measurement units often survive long after their historical origins fade.
