How to convert meters per second to knots

Multiply the value in m/s by 1.94384449244: the result is in kn.

kn = m/s × 1.94384449244The other way round, 1 kn = 0.514444444444 m/s.

Where these two units are used

The meter per second is the SI unit of speed, and yet no road sign shows it: it lives in physics and in wind readings. The knot is one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 kilometers per hour since 1929, and it is tied to geography: a nautical mile is one minute of latitude. A knot is a little over half a meter per second, 0.514: halving the knots gives meters per second to within three per cent, which is enough for a wind and a sea.
