What this speed conversion is for

Use this page when a measurement is written in kilometers per hour and the next step needs knots. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.

The factor

Multiply by the factor: 1 kilometer per hour = 0.5399568 knots.

A worked example

10 kilometers per hour are 5.39956803 knots. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.

How to check it

Write the factor down, do the multiply on paper, and compare it with the result card. If you change a sentence on this page, edit the HTML file and reload. The form and this note live in the same file.

The reverse conversion is knots to kilometers per hour. A nearby pair in the same units is meters per second to knots. When the converted number is the input to a job, continue with the speed calculator.
