320 knots in kilometers per hour

Result

The conversion result is: 320 knots is equivalent to 592.64 kilometers per hour.^[1]

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.00168736501079914 times 320 knots.

It can also be expressed as: 320 knots is equal to 1 / 0.00168736501079914 kilometers per hour.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: three hundred and twenty knots is about zero kilometers per hour, or alternatively, a kilometer per hour is about zero times three hundred and twenty knots.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Knots

"The knot (/nɒt/) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile (1.852 km) per hour, approximately 1.151 mph. The ISO Standard symbol for the knot is kn. The same symbol is preferred by the IEEE; kt is also common. The knot is a non-SI unit that is accepted for use with the SI. Worldwide, the knot is used in meteorology, and in maritime and air navigation—for example, a vessel travelling at 1 knot along a meridian travels approximately one minute of geographic latitude in one hour. Etymologically, the term derives from counting the number of knots in the line that unspooled from the reel of a chip log in a specific time."

Kilometers Per Hour

"The kilometer per hour is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometres travelled in one hour. The unit symbol is km/h. Worldwide, it is the most commonly used unit of speed on road signs and car speedometers."
