Convert yard/second to yard/hour
Please provide values below to convert yard/second [yd/s] to yard/hour [yd/h], or Convert yard/hour to yard/second.
1 yd/s = 3600 yd/h. To convert yard/second to yard/hour, multiply the value by 3600; to go the other way, divide by it (1 yd/h = 0.000277777777778 yd/s). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 yd/s = 3600 yd/h
- 1 yd/h = 0.000277777777778 yd/s
- 10 yd/s = 36000 yd/h
- 100 yd/s = 360000 yd/h
How to Convert Yard/second to Yard/hour
1 yd/s = 3600 yd/h
Example: convert 15 yd/s to yd/h:
15 yd/s = 15 × 3600 yd/h = 54000 yd/h

Yard/second
Yard per second (yd/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one yard traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The yard has been used as a unit of length since the 12th century, primarily in the UK and the US. The yard/second as a speed unit emerged with the adoption of the yard in measurement systems, but it is less common than other units like meters per second.
Current Use
Yard per second is occasionally used in fields such as aviation, sports, and engineering within the United States and the UK for measuring speeds where imperial units are preferred.
Yard/hour
Yard per hour (yd/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one yard traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The yard has been a traditional unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, and units like yard per hour have historically been used for measuring slow speeds, especially in contexts like textiles and manufacturing. Its usage has declined with the adoption of metric units.
Current Use
Yard per hour is rarely used today, primarily in specialized or historical contexts. It may still be referenced in certain industries or for conversions involving imperial units, but it is largely replaced by metric units such as meters per second or kilometers per hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 yard/second in yard/hour?
1 yard/second (yd/s) = 3600 yard/hour (yd/h).
