AI overview
A knot is a unit of speed used for measuring how fast ships and aircraft travel, equal to one nautical mile per hour. It matters because it provides a standard way to describe velocity in maritime and aviation contexts, where distances are traditionally measured in nautical miles rather than regular miles.
