How it works
Enter a value, select Miles per hour and Knot, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
Convert miles per hour (mph) to knots (kn) when comparing land speeds with marine, aviation and weather speed measurements.
Enter a value, select Miles per hour and Knot, then MimiFile calculates the result instantly using the conversion model for this category.
Multiply mph by approximately 0.8689762419 to get knots. MPH uses statute miles, while a knot is one nautical mile per hour.
Speed uses a base-unit scale model.
knots = mph × approximately 0.8689762419. MimiFile uses 1 statute mile = 1609.344 metres and 1 nautical mile = 1852 metres.
MPH is based on the statute mile used for road and land distance. Knots use nautical miles, which are longer, so 1 mph is less than 1 knot.
Useful when a specification, map, recipe, technical document or device uses Knot while your source value is in Miles per hour.
