速度单位，等于每小时一海里。

海上航速有其专属单位。一节等于每小时一海里，约合每小时 1.852 公里或每小时 1.151 英里。

这个术语源于古老的航速记录法，这种方法通过沙漏计数法记录绳索上的节数。如今，航速记录仪和GPS可以提供​​以节为单位的水上航速和陆上航速。海洋预报中也经常以节为单位报告风速。

航海员会同时使用节和海里来思考，这样才能确保时间、速度和距离计算的一致性。一艘以15节航速航行的船，一小时就能航行15海里。在驾驶台上，节和公里/小时之间的混淆是绝对不允许的。

    I always confused this with the rope knot until I started sailing. One knot equals one nautical mile per hour, simple as that.

    Why is it called a knot though? Seems like an odd name for a unit of speed. Anyone know the origin?

    My dad was in the navy and he'd correct anyone who said knots per hour. Drove him crazy.
