How to Convert Meter/hour to Cosmic Velocity - Third
1 m/h = 1.66334011976048e-08 None
Example: convert 15 m/h to None:
15 m/h = 15 × 1.66334011976048e-08 None = 2.49501017964072e-07 None
Meter/hour to Cosmic Velocity - Third Conversion Table
| meter/hour | Cosmic velocity - third |

Meter/hour
Meter per hour (m/h) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one hour.
History/Origin
The meter per hour has been used historically in various contexts to measure slow speeds, especially in fields like transportation and engineering, though it is less common today due to the adoption of SI units like meters per second.
Current Use
Currently, meter per hour is primarily used in specialized applications such as measuring slow-moving processes, environmental monitoring, or in certain industrial contexts where precise, low-speed measurements are required.
Cosmic Velocity - Third
The third cosmic velocity is the minimum speed an object must reach to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth without further propulsion, approximately 11.2 km/s.
History/Origin
The concept of cosmic velocities was developed in the early 20th century to describe the different escape velocities from celestial bodies. The third cosmic velocity specifically relates to Earth's escape velocity, becoming prominent with advancements in astronautics and space exploration.
Current Use
The third cosmic velocity is used in space mission planning to determine the required speed for spacecraft to leave Earth's gravitational influence and reach interplanetary or interstellar space.
