A knot is a speed of one nautical mile per hour.
Knots are used in maritime navigation, aviation, weather reporting, sailing, and ocean-current measurement.
knot is used for boats, aircraft, wind forecasts, marine navigation, sailing, currents, and nautical-speed references.
Miles per hour measures how many miles are traveled in one hour.
Miles per hour is used for road speeds in the United States and the United Kingdom, plus many vehicle and weather references.
mph is used for road signs, vehicle dashboards, weather reports, aviation references, sports speeds, and travel estimates in mph-based regions.
Mathematically, mile per hour (mph) = knot (kn) converted with the formula below.
1 kn = 1.150779 mph
1 mph = 0.868976 kn
Formula: value × 1.15077944792
Example: 15 kn = 17.261692 mph
