Have you ever wondered why ships don’t measure speed in kilometers per hour like cars and trains?
Instead, they use knots. It might sound outdated, but there’s a smart reason behind it.
Ships travel across oceans on a curved Earth. Navigation depends on latitude and longitude, and nautical miles are directly connected to how the Earth is measured. That’s why 1 nautical mile equals 1 minute of latitude. Using knots keeps global navigation simple, precise, and consistent.
Even airplanes use knots for the same reason.
In this video, we break down:
Why ships use knots instead of km/h
What a nautical mile really means
The history behind the word “knot”
Why the world still hasn’t switched units
Next time you hear a ship is moving at 22 knots, you’ll know it’s not random — it’s science.
Do you think the world should modernize and switch to km/h? Comment your thoughts below 👇
