Converting from Kilometer per second (km/s) to Knot (kn)

What is Kilometer per second (km/s)

Kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed that represents the distance traveled in kilometers in one second.

What is Knot (kn)

Knot (kn) is a unit of speed used in navigation and aviation, which is defined as one nautical mile per hour.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from kilometers per second (km/s) to knots (kn), you can use the formula:

speed in km/s×1943.844=speed in kn

To convert from knots (kn) to kilometers per second (km/s), you can use the formula:

speed in kn×0.0005144444=speed in km/s

Examples

• Converting 15 km/s to kn:

15×1943.844=29157.67 kn

• Converting 6 kn to km/s:

6×0.0005144444=0.003086667 km/s

• Converting 9 km/s to kn:

9×1943.844=17494.6 kn

By using the above formulas, you can easily perform conversions from kilometers per second to knots and vice versa.
