Convert Cosmic velocity - second to kilometer/second
Please provide values below to convert Cosmic velocity - second [None] to kilometer/second [km/s], or Convert kilometer/second to Cosmic velocity - second.
1 None = 11.2 km/s. To convert Cosmic velocity - second to kilometer/second, multiply the value by 11.2; to go the other way, divide by it (1 km/s = 0.0892857142857 None). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 None = 11.2 km/s
- 1 km/s = 0.0892857142857 None
- 10 None = 112 km/s
- 100 None = 1120 km/s
How to Convert Cosmic Velocity - Second to Kilometer/second
1 None = 11.2 km/s
Example: convert 15 None to km/s:
15 None = 15 × 11.2 km/s = 168 km/s

Cosmic Velocity - Second
Cosmic velocity is the minimum velocity an object must have to escape the gravitational influence of a celestial body without further propulsion.
History/Origin
The concept of cosmic velocity originated in the early 20th century with the development of orbital mechanics and space exploration, initially used to describe escape velocities from planets and the Earth.
Current Use
Cosmic velocity is used in astrophysics and space science to determine escape velocities for spacecraft and celestial bodies, aiding in mission planning and understanding gravitational influences.
Kilometer/second
A kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one kilometer traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The kilometer per second has been used in scientific contexts, particularly in astronomy and physics, to measure high velocities such as the speed of celestial objects and spacecraft. Its usage became prominent with the development of precise measurement techniques in the 20th century.
Current Use
Today, km/s is primarily used in astronomy, astrophysics, and space science to describe the velocities of stars, galaxies, and spacecraft. It is also used in scientific research involving high-speed phenomena.
