How to Convert Speed Of Sound to Knots

Speedometers are used in vehicles to measure speed

To convert a speed of sound measurement to a knot measurement, multiply the speed by the conversion ratio. One speed of sound is equal to 666.738661 knots, so use this simple formula to convert:

knots = speed of sound × 666.738661

The speed in knots is equal to the speed of sound multiplied by 666.738661.

For example, here's how to convert 5 speed of sound to knots using the formula above.

5 speed of sound = (5 × 666.738661) = 3,333.693305 kn

Speed of sound and knots are both units used to measure speed. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Speed Of Sound

The speed of sound is the distance a sound wave travels through an elastic medium. The speed of sound through air at 20 °C is equal to 343 meters per second, or roughly 767 miles per hour.

Knots

One knot is equal to a speed of one nautical mile per hour, or one minute of latitude per hour.

Knots can be abbreviated as kn, and are also sometimes abbreviated as kt. For example, 1 knot can be written as 1 kn or 1 kt.

Understanding the Metric System

The metric system makes it relatively easy to convert from one metric unit to another metric unit. The metric system uses a base unit, think meters or grams, and a prefix such as kilo or milli. The prefixes differ from the base units by differing powers of 10. So to convert within the metric system it’s usually a matter of multiplying or dividing by one of the powers of 10.
