Conversion formula
The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:
1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h
To convert 20 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 20 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h
20 kt → V(km/h)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:
V(km/h) = 20 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h
V(km/h) = 37.039999999938 km/h
The final result is:
20 kt → 37.039999999938 km/h
We conclude that 20 knots is equivalent to 37.039999999938 kilometers per hour:
20 knots = 37.039999999938 kilometers per hour
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.026997840172831 × 20 knots.
Another way is saying that 20 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.026997840172831 kilometers per hour.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty knots is approximately thirty-seven point zero four kilometers per hour:
20 kt ≅ 37.04 km/h
An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero two seven times twenty knots.
