Convert Meters/second to Knots (m/s to kn)
1 m/s = 1.94384449 kn. Convert meters/second to knots with the exact factor, a common-values table and a free converter.
Conversion factor
kn = m/s × 1.94384449
1 m/s = 1.94384449 kn
Multiply by 1.94384449 kn to go from meters/second to knots, 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many knots are in one meter/second?
One meter/second is 1.94384449 kn, so 100 m/s is 194.384449 kn.
What is the formula to convert meters/second to knots?
kn = m/s × 1.94384449. Multiply the value in meters/second by 1.94384449 to get knots.
How do I convert knots back to meters/second?
m/s = kn × 0.514444444, so 1 kn is 0.514444444 m/s. The kn to m/s page carries the same table in that direction.
