Conversion Definitions

The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between kilometers per second and meters per second.

What is kilometers per second (km/s)?

Kilometers per second is a unit of Speed or Velocity in the Metric System. It measures the number of kilometers traveled in a second. The symbol for kilometers per second is km/s and the International spelling for this unit is kilometres per second. There are 0.001 km/s in m/s.

What is meters per second (m/s)?

Meters per second is a unit of Speed or Velocity in the Metric System. It measures the number of meters traveled in a second. The symbol for meters per second is m/s and the International spelling for this unit is metres per second. There are 1,000 m/s in km/s.

Conversion Formula

Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.

The formula to convert from km/s to m/s is:

m/s = km/s x 1,000

Conversion Example

Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from kilometers per second to meters per second (km/s to m/s).

Kilometers per second to Meters per second Conversion Example
