Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction). For example, 60 km/h is a speed, but 60 km/h north is a velocity. For conversion purposes, the numerical values are identical — our converter handles both equally.

Frequently Asked Questions
To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, multiply by 0.621371. For example: 100 km/h × 0.621371 = 62.14 mph. Our converter does this automatically with 10-digit precision.
Mach 1 (speed of sound in dry air at 20°C at sea level) equals approximately 1,235 km/h or 767 mph or 343 m/s. Note that Mach numbers vary with temperature, altitude, and medium — our converter uses the standard sea-level value.
The speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second, which equals approximately:
- 1,079,252,848.8 km/h
- 670,616,629 mph
- 186,282 miles/second
A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h or approximately 1.151 mph. It is primarily used in maritime navigation, aviation, and meteorology worldwide. The term comes from the historical method of measuring ship speed using a knotted rope.
