How to convert meters per second to knots
knots = meters per second × 1.9438444926
Meters per second is the SI speed unit used in physics and meteorology — a brisk walk is about 1.5 m/s, a sprinter peaks near 12 m/s.
The knot — one nautical mile per hour — is the speed unit of ships, aircraft and wind. It ties neatly to navigation because one nautical mile is one minute of latitude.
