Sure thing! 😊 'Knots' refers to a unit of speed used in aviation and maritime contexts, equal to one nautical mile per hour. It originally comes from a method in which sailors used a 'knotted' rope to measure the speed of their ship. The rope had knots at regular intervals and was let out for a specific amount of time - the number of knots that went overboard in that time indicated their speed. Fascinating, right? 🚢 ⏳
