Convert centimeter/second to millimeter/hour
Please provide values below to convert centimeter/second [cm/s] to millimeter/hour [mm/h], or Convert millimeter/hour to centimeter/second.
1 cm/s = 35999.9999712 mm/h. To convert centimeter/second to millimeter/hour, multiply the value by 35999.9999712; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mm/h = 2.77777778e-05 cm/s). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Centimeter/second
A unit of speed representing the distance of one centimeter traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The centimeter per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts where metric units are standard, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the centimeter and second, both of which have historical roots in the metric system developed in France during the late 18th century.
Current Use
The centimeter per second is primarily used in scientific research, fluid dynamics, and engineering applications where small-scale speed measurements are required. It is also used in certain fields like biology and physics for precise velocity measurements.
Millimeter/hour
Millimeter per hour (mm/h) is a unit of measurement that indicates the rate of rainfall or precipitation, representing how many millimeters of water fall in one hour.
History/Origin
The millimeter per hour has been used in meteorology and hydrology to quantify rainfall intensity, especially with the advent of precise rain gauges and weather measurement tools in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, mm/h is commonly used in weather forecasting, climate studies, and hydrological assessments to measure and communicate the intensity of rainfall events.
