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.
Millimeter/Second (mm/s)
A millimeter per second is a useful speed in robotics, precision machining, biomechanics, and controlled engineering systems. Robotic arms performing delicate manipulation, small servo motors, and scanning instruments often operate in the mm/s speed range. In seismology, mm/s measures the vibration velocities of the ground during micro tremors, making it essential in structural engineering and earthquake monitoring. It reflects the world of fine-scale, controlled motion—beyond what the human eye typically detects.
