Meters per Second to Kilometers per Second Converter

= 0.5 kilometers per second (km/s)

How to Convert Meters per Second to Kilometers per Second

To convert from meters per second (m/s) to kilometers per second (km/s), divide the speed value by 1,000:

km/s = m/s ÷ 1,000

Example Calculation

Convert 500 meters per second to kilometers per second:
500 m/s = 500 ÷ 1,000 = 0.5 km/s

Common Conversions

  • 1 m/s = 0.001 km/s
  • 1000 m/s = 1 km/s
  • 5000 m/s = 5 km/s
