Understanding Speed Conversion
Kilometers per Second (km/s)
A kilometer per second is a metric unit of speed measuring the distance in kilometers traveled in one second. It's commonly used in astronomy and space physics.
Knots (kn)
A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour (approximately 1.852 kilometers per hour). It's primarily used in maritime navigation and aviation.
Common Applications
- Maritime navigation
- Aviation speed measurement
- Meteorological studies
- Space velocity calculations
