1 mi/s = 0.0540411014103425 None
Example: convert 15 mi/s to None:
15 mi/s = 15 × 0.0540411014103425 None = 0.810616521155138 None
Mile/second to Earth's Velocity Conversion Table
| mile/second | Earth's velocity |

Mile/second
A mile per second (mi/s) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one mile traveled in one second.
History/Origin
The mile per second has been used primarily in scientific contexts, especially in astronomy and physics, to measure extremely high velocities such as those of celestial objects. Its usage has been limited due to the convenience of metric units in scientific measurement.
Current Use
Today, the mile per second is mainly used in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and space science, to describe high-velocity phenomena like the speed of spacecraft, stars, or other celestial bodies.
Earth's Velocity
Earth's velocity refers to the speed at which Earth moves through space, typically measured relative to the Sun or the cosmic microwave background.
History/Origin
The concept of Earth's velocity has been studied since the heliocentric model was proposed in the 16th century, with measurements improving through astronomical observations and modern satellite technology.
Current Use
Earth's velocity is used in astronomy, astrophysics, and space science to understand Earth's motion relative to other celestial bodies and the universe, often expressed in kilometers per second or miles per hour.
