Meters per Second to Knots Converter
1 meter per second = 1.943844492 kn. Enter any value to convert meters per second (m/s) to knots (kn), or use the table below for common values.
Formula
kn = m/s × 1.943844492
Example: 10 m/s = 19.43844492 kn. To convert the other way, use m/s = kn × 0.5144444444.
Quick mental estimate: multiply by about 1.9.

About meters per second and knots
The meter per second is the SI unit of speed, used in physics, engineering and for wind speed in weather science.
The knot is one nautical mile per hour (exactly 1.852 km/h), used in aviation, sailing and marine weather forecasts.
