How to convert meters per second to knots

Worked example: 10 m/s ≈ 19.438 knots

10 m/s × 3,600 ÷ 1,852 ≈ 19.438 knots

1,852 m in a nautical mile; 3,600 s in an hour

Rule: knots = meters per second × 3,600 ÷ 1,852 ≈ meters per second × 1.94384 — 1 kt = 1,852 m/h; 1 m/s = 3,600 m/h.

FAQ

How many knots is one meter per second?

1 m/s ≈ 1.94384 knots: knots = m/s × 3,600 ÷ 1,852 ≈ m/s × 1.94384. Usually the answer is rounded (10 m/s ≈ 19.438 knots); for some inputs it is exact: 4.63 m/s = 9 knots.

Where do 3,600 and 1,852 come from?

An hour has 1 h = 3,600 s, so 1 m/s = 3,600 m/h. A knot is one nautical mile per hour, and the international nautical mile is exact: 1 nautical mile = 1,852 m (1929), so 1 knot = 1,852 m/h.

Why are there about twice as many knots as meters per second?

Because 1 m/s ≈ 1.94384 knots, almost two knots, and 1 knot ≈ 0.514444 m/s. For example, 5 m/s ≈ 9.719 knots.

Is a knot a distance?

No. A knot is a speed: one nautical mile per hour. The distance is the nautical mile.
