What is Speed?
Speed is the scalar measure of how fast an object moves—the distance covered per unit time. The SI unit is metre per second (m/s). Other common units include kilometres per hour (km/h), used on road signs across most of the world, and miles per hour (mph), used in the United States and United Kingdom. In aviation and maritime contexts, speed is measured in knots (nautical miles per hour). The speed of light in a vacuum, c ≈ 299,792,458 m/s, is the ultimate speed limit in the universe.
What is Knot?
A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. Maritime navigation, aviation, and oceanography use knots as the standard speed measurement. Ship speedometers display knots. Aircraft airspeed is measured in knots. Wind speeds at sea are expressed in knots. The knot developed from nautical traditions and remains internationally standardized for water and air navigation because the nautical mile relates directly to Earth's circumference and latitude/longitude systems.

What is Miles per Second?
Miles per second (miles/econd, mi/s) measures speed as the distance of one mile covered in one second. Escape velocity and interplanetary spacecraft speeds are sometimes expressed in miles per second in American space program documentation. Satellites and astronomical phenomena move at miles per second. The unit describes cosmic-scale speeds in contexts where miles per hour would produce impractical numbers.
