What is metre per second?

Metre per second is the SI unit of speed. It is used in physics, engineering, and scientific contexts to express velocity, and serves as the reference unit for all speed calculations in this converter.

What is knot?

A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, approximately 1.852 km/h. It is the international standard for maritime navigation, aviation, and meteorological wind speed reporting.
