About this calculator
A knot is one nautical mile per hour (1.15078 mph). Used in marine + aviation. Useful conversions: 10 kn = 11.5 mph = 18.5 km/h. Hurricane wind starts at 64 kn (74 mph). Light breeze (Beaufort 2) is ~6 kn.
Frequently asked
Sailors measured speed by tossing a knotted rope over the stern; counted knots passing in a fixed time.
