A knot (UK) is a unit of speed used in maritime and aviation contexts, equal to one nautical mile per hour based on the international nautical mile of 1,852 meters.

What does millimeter per hour measure?

Millimeter per hour quantifies very slow linear rates, such as rainfall depth or material thickness changes over time.

Why convert knot (UK) to millimeter per hour?

This conversion helps express high navigation speeds in terms of very slow linear changes, useful in detailed engineering and geotechnical monitoring.
