Why do sailors use knots instead of mph?

Therefore, in the aviation and nautical worlds, knots are oftentimes used in place of MPH and KPH since they are easier to navigate with. Unlike statute – or land based – miles, nautical miles are based directly on the Earth's degree of latitudes. One nautical mile equates exactly to one minute of latitude.
