 Incidentally, since is not used in the Ars world, boats are also expressed in terms of speed per hour.

 Jin thought this was appropriate since the distance corresponding to one degree of latitude is different from that of the Earth.

 As a side note, one knot on earth is one nautical mile per hour, and one nautical mile corresponds to one minute in latitude.

 Since the circumference of Arus, which is smaller than the Earth, is about 7,500 kilometers, one degree is about 20.8 kilometers, and one minute is 34.5 minutes. One degree is about 20.8 kilometers, and one minute is 347 meters.

 Jin thought that this was rather close to the distance that sound travels in one second. ...... This is a further digression.

"Would you like to try it?"

 Makina said, "It will be less comfortable, but it can hold up to 10 people," to which everyone except Elena replied, "I want to ride it! >>Everyone except Elena, who replied, "I'd love to ride!

"I can get it up a little higher."

 Ray said and increased the speed to 80 kilometers per hour. In knots, that would be 43 knots.
