How to use this Kilometer/second to Knot Converter 🤔
Follow these steps to convert given speed from the units of Kilometer/second to the units of Knot.
Enter the input Kilometer/second value in the text field.
The calculator converts the given Kilometer/second into Knot in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Knot label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Knot value is re-calculated, just like that.
You may copy the resulting Knot value using the Copy button.
To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.
What is the Formula to convert Kilometer/second to Knot?
The formula to convert given speed from Kilometer/second to Knot is:
Substitute the given value of speed in kilometer/second, i.e., Speed(Kilometer/second) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the speed in knot, i.e., Speed(Knot).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
A spacecraft travels at a speed of 8 kilometers per second. Convert this speed from kilometers per second to Knot.
Answer:
Given:
The speed in kilometer/second is:
Speed(Kilometer/second) = 8
Formula:
The formula to convert speed from kilometer/second to knot is:
Substitute given weight Speed(Kilometer/second) = 15 in the above formula.
Speed(Knot) = 15 × 1.9438444924 / 0.001
Speed(Knot) = 29157.6674
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 km/s is equal to 29157.6674 kt.
The speed is 29157.6674 kt, in knot.

Kilometer/second
The kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed that represents how many kilometers an object travels in one second. This unit is often used in astronomy and space science to describe the velocities of celestial bodies and spacecraft, as these speeds are far beyond those encountered in everyday life.
Knot
The knot (kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It is commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts to express the speed of ships and aircraft. The knot is an important unit in navigation, where distances are often measured in nautical miles.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the formula for converting Kilometer/second to Knot in Speed?
