Speed Conversion Tips

🚗 Quick Approximations

To quickly convert km/h to mph, multiply by 0.6. To convert mph to km/h, multiply by 1.6. For example: 100 km/h ≈ 60 mph.

⛵ Nautical Speeds

Knots are used in maritime and aviation. 1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour. A nautical mile is based on Earth's circumference (1/60th of a degree).

✈️ Aviation Speeds

Aircraft speeds are often given in knots for navigation, but Mach numbers are used for high-speed flight (Mach 1 = speed of sound ≈ 343 m/s at sea level).

🔬 Scientific Context

In physics, speeds are often expressed as fractions of the speed of light (c). For example, particle accelerators can achieve speeds of 0.99c or higher.
