Worth Knowing
Speed conversions come up constantly in travel and weather, and a few anchors help: 100 km/h is about 62 mph, and the knot — one nautical mile per hour, used in aviation and sailing — is roughly 1.15 mph. The knot isn't an arbitrary holdover; it maps cleanly onto latitude and longitude, since a nautical mile equals one minute of arc, which is why ships and aircraft still navigate in knots rather than metric speeds.
