Re: Knotts conversion to mph
Now some more fun with units and navigation:<br /><br />Since a meter was orginally defined as an estimated at 1 / 10,000,000 of a quadrant of the earth (distance from equator to a pole), there's a direct relationship with nautical miles which are 1 / 5400 (90° x 60 mins/degree) of a quadrant of the earth. Natually, you'll want to use kilometer for comparision (1 / 10,000th).<br /><br />Ok, I'll admit that wasn't fun at all... <br /><br />EDIT: Not really very interesting either, eh?
