1 cm/h = 2.48017857142857e-10 None
Example: convert 15 cm/h to None:
15 cm/h = 15 × 2.48017857142857e-10 None = 3.72026785714286e-09 None
Centimeter/hour to Cosmic Velocity - Second Conversion Table
| centimeter/hour | Cosmic velocity - second |

Centimeter/hour
Centimeter per hour (cm/h) is a unit of speed that measures the distance in centimeters traveled or covered in one hour.
History/Origin
The centimeter per hour has been used primarily in scientific and industrial contexts to measure slow rates of movement or growth, especially in fields like biology and material science. Its usage became more standardized with the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, cm/h is used in applications such as measuring the rate of biological growth, sedimentation, or the movement of fluids and materials in scientific research and engineering.
Cosmic Velocity - Second
Cosmic velocity is the minimum velocity an object must have to escape the gravitational influence of a celestial body without further propulsion.
History/Origin
The concept of cosmic velocity originated in the early 20th century with the development of orbital mechanics and space exploration, initially used to describe escape velocities from planets and the Earth.
Current Use
Cosmic velocity is used in astrophysics and space science to determine escape velocities for spacecraft and celestial bodies, aiding in mission planning and understanding gravitational influences.
