Description

Exploring Kilometer per Second (km/s)

Kilometer per second (km/s) measures velocity, indicating how many kilometers an object travels in one second. It's primarily used in astrophysics and space sciences to express high velocities, such as the speed of celestial bodies. For example, Earth's orbital speed around the Sun is approximately 29.78 km/s.

Third Cosmic Velocity (v3) – Solar System Escape

The third cosmic velocity, around 16670 m/s, is the speed required for an object to leave the Sun’s gravitational influence from Earth's orbit. It's relevant in interstellar travel and deep-space missions, marking humanity’s reach beyond the solar system. Only a few missions, like Voyager, have achieved such velocity.
