Understanding Speed Conversion

What is a Kilometer per Second (km/s)?

A kilometer per second is a unit of speed used primarily in astronomy and space science. It measures how far an object travels in kilometers during one second. This unit is commonly used for measuring the speeds of celestial objects, spacecraft, and other high-velocity phenomena.

What is a Meter per Second (m/s)?

A meter per second is the SI base unit for speed. It represents the distance in meters that an object travels in one second. This unit is widely used in physics, engineering, and everyday measurements of speed and velocity.
