Why do the Air Force and Navy use NAUTICAL MILES? And What is a KNOT?
Why do the Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard still use nautical miles? And what the heck is a knot?! In this video, I explain what the difference is between a nautical mile and a standard mile - or a statute mile, as it’s technically called. I also explain why pilots and sailors use nautical miles, and what a “knot” is as a measure of speed.

Something that helps clear up the confusion that NOBODY has is that when she says “minutes” she refers to a clock, a clock is a circle and 60 minutes would take you from the 12 o’clock to the 1 o’clock position, this is used in reference to the earth so you can imagine that the earth is a giant clock and traveling a nautical mile is 1/60th of a minute on a clock

still didnt get why its more accurate .. if we are converting it to miles anyway, and also didnt get how is the earth's curvature considered in using nm? thanks for the video tho, did anyone understand tho?

@lincolncottingham2432 Жыл бұрын

My understanding is that for aviation, which is my background. The Knot (nm/h) is better because as you get higher in the atmosphere the circumference is larger so the exact size of the Nm is larger the higher you get

@hashtag_thisguy Жыл бұрын

On ground, the speed is relative to land which is fixed /doesn't move and therfore doesn't affect the object speed. From my understanding because water and air are not fixed, ie you could be sailing 30mph against/into a 15 mph current, and therefore your actuall speed will be 15 mph and not 30mph... aviation I think the same applies because air speed around the plane will affect the planes actuall speed. By using knots it takes the variables with the speed of the water/air and gives you an actuall speed you're traveling at.

If you travelled 50 degrees in 1 hour then yes you have. Remember a knot is a Nautical Mile per hour (Nm/h) Therefore, If you travelled 50 degrees in 1 hour you were travelling at 3000 knots (Nm/h)

@gonnaenodaethat6198 9 ай бұрын

so 6o knots is 69 mph? The conversion has the most satisfying pattern. Taking speeds that are multiples of two, the second numeral will be a multiple of three in a liniar fasion after acounting for the decimal by shifting from the hundredths place. 2 is 2.3, 4 is 4.6, 6 is 6.9...ex. 6.9 is only the appetizer; when we do it in multiples of ten everything is just shifted into whole numbers. 20 is 23, 40 is 46 and at last...60 knots is 69 mph. In conclusion, the earth has all the right curves in all the right places x3

@bigskunk801 3 ай бұрын

I wonder what a flat earther would say about this. One way to know the earth is round is with a simple triangle. A triangle on a flat surface is 180 degrees. A triangle on a round surface is always more than 180 because the triangle distance is longer because of the curve of the earth.
