Since 1 statute mile equals 0.8683 nautical mile, multiply
20 mph by 0.8683 to get knots.
20 mph equals 17.366 knots
Hope this helps.

there is international standardisation for length of velocity for maritime and air delivery. The good judgment being which you're a lot greater in all likelihood to be vacationing over water than land as Earth's floor has a lot greater water than it has dry land. All plane degree velocity in knots, because of the fact nautical miles (NM) are the international degree of distance. A knot is one nautical mile according to hour. So that's not suitable despite the fact that while you're flying in a rustic that makes use of imperial measurements, or metric measurements, speeds of all plane could be, and are, measured interior the comparable way. A NM is further than a statute mile, so a knot is swifter.

15 knots is 17.3 mph
20 knots is 23 mph
so somewhere between them!
