Understanding speed units
Meters per second (m/s) is the SI unit of speed, while kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph) are common for road speeds. A knot is one nautical mile per hour and is widely used in aviation and marine navigation. This converter first maps each value to m/s, then converts from that shared base unit. For distance measurements, use the length converter.
