Speed Converter
What is Speed Converter
A speed converter turns a velocity from one unit into all the others: kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), meters per second (m/s), knots (kn), and feet per second (ft/s). Type a number into any field and the rest update at once, so you can read a foreign speed limit, a wind speed, or a running pace in whatever unit you actually think in.
How to use
- Type a speed into any of the five fields (km/h, mph, m/s, knots, or ft/s).
- Watch the other fields update instantly with the equivalent speed.
- Click the copy icon next to any field to copy that value.
- Click Clear to reset every field and start over.
When to use it
Driving abroad and the sign says 100 km/h? Type it in and you get 62.14 mph right away, so you know exactly how fast that is. The same field turns a 10 m/s wind into 36 km/h, or a boat's 20 knots into 37.04 km/h, handy for weather reports, sailing, and physics homework alike.
Frequently asked questions
How many mph is 100 km/h?
100 km/h equals about 62.14 mph. Going the other way, 60 mph is roughly 96.56 km/h. The converter does the exact math for any value you enter.
What is a knot?
A knot is one nautical mile per hour, used for boats, ships, and aircraft. One knot equals 1.852 km/h or about 1.15078 mph, because a nautical mile is 1,852 meters.
How do I convert m/s to km/h?
Multiply the meters-per-second value by 3.6. So 10 m/s is 36 km/h. To convert km/h back to m/s, divide by 3.6.
Which mile does mph use?
This tool uses the international mile of 1,609.344 meters, the standard for road speeds in the US and UK. It is not the same as a nautical mile, which is used for knots.
