Here you can convert the Speed unit Kilometers per hour into the unit Kilometers per second and vice versa you can convert Kilometers per second into Kilometers per hour. By clicking the "Swap units" icon, you will always obtain the desired conversion in the calculation result, i.e., km/h to km/s or km/s to km/h. With the following calculator you can also calculate any other Speed unit.
Info about "Kilometers per hour"
Kilometers per hour is used as a standard unit in transportation, therefore it is used in traffic or to measure the travel speed of vehicles. For example, a commercial aircraft flies at a speed of 1,000 km/h then it covers a distance of 1,000 kilometers per hour.
The unit is defined as follows: An object moving at 1 "km/h" per hour will cover one kilometer. "km/h" is approved to use in the international system of units (SI).
Info about "Kilometers per second"
Kilometer per second is part of the metric system and it is derived from the standard unit of speed, meter per second (m/s). This is because both meters and seconds are defined as the basic units for length and time respectively.
This unit is defined as follows: An object moving at "1 km/s" per second will cover one kilometer. "km/s" is approved to use in the international system of units (SI).
Basis for conversion Kilometers per hour (km/h) to Kilometers per second (km/s) and vice versa
The abbreviation for the "Speed unit Kilometers per hour" is km/h. The abbreviation for the "Speed unit Kilometers per second" is km/s.
