Convert Knots to Kilometers/hour (kn to km/h)
1 kn = 1.852 km/h. Convert knots to kilometers/hour with the exact factor, a common-values table and a free converter.
Conversion factor
km/h = kn × 1.852
1 kn = 1.852 km/h
Multiply by 1.852 km/h to go from knots to kilometers/hour, or divide by it to come back. The factor and every value below are computed by the same converter that runs at /convert, so this page and the tool cannot disagree.

Every figure is computed at build time by the site’s own converter from the speed unit registry. For a value that is not listed, put it into the interactive converter.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilometers/hour are in one knot?
One knot is 1.852 km/h, so 100 kn is 185.2 km/h.
What is the formula to convert knots to kilometers/hour?
km/h = kn × 1.852. Multiply the value in knots by 1.852 to get kilometers/hour.
How do I convert kilometers/hour back to knots?
kn = km/h × 0.539956803, so 1 km/h is 0.539956803 kn. The km/h to kn page carries the same table in that direction.
