About these units
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.
Velocity of Light (in vacuum)
The velocity of light (c) is a constant that represents the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. It is a fundamental constant in physics and is used in various equations, such as Einstein's theory of relativity. This speed is the upper limit for the speed at which information or matter can travel.
