Speed is distance over time, but units mash together in awkward ways (miles per hour vs. meters per second). This converter keeps one steady narrative: pick the units you have, read the units you need.
Nautical miles tie to latitude minutes; knots are nm per hour—a marine heritage aviation borrowed. Road speeds stayed mph or km/h depending on empire and metrication waves, not physics differences.
v_target = v_source × (m/s per source unit) / (m/s per target unit)
Express each speed unit as meters per second (or miles per hour) once, take the ratio, and reuse it. Mixed conversions like knots→mph inherit the nautical mile definition automatically when data is aligned.
