How faster is an airplane then a car?

The speed of an airplane is typically measured in knots, while the speed of a car is usually measured in miles per hour (mph). To compare the speeds of an airplane and a car, we need to convert one unit of measurement to the other.

1 knot = 1.151 mph

Therefore, to find how much faster an airplane is than a car, we need to divide the airplane's speed in knots by the car's speed in mph and then multiply by 100.

For example, if an airplane is flying at 500 knots and a car is traveling at 60 mph, then the airplane is approximately 833% faster than the car.

(500 knots / 60 mph) * 100 = 833.33%

This means that the airplane is traveling at a speed that is 8.33 times greater than the speed of the car.
