# Knots to Kilometers per hour Converter

Enter a value in knots to get its equivalent in kilometers per hour. Use the inverse button to switch conversion direction.

## Input data

- **Knots** - type: number; default: 1; step: 0.01

## How it works

km/h = kn × 1.852.

## Quick examples

- **1 kn → 1.852 km/h** - Knots: 1
- **10 kn → 18.52 km/h** - Knots: 10
- **25 kn → 46.3 km/h** - Knots: 25

## Understanding your result

The result expresses the value entered in knots as kilometers per hour. One knot is one nautical mile per hour, not one land mile per hour.
