15 None = 15 × 1.78323353293413 None = 26.748502994012 None
Earth's Velocity to Cosmic Velocity - Third Conversion Table
| Earth's velocity | Cosmic velocity - third |

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.
Cosmic Velocity - Third
The third cosmic velocity is the minimum speed an object must reach to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth without further propulsion, approximately 11.2 km/s.
History/Origin
The concept of cosmic velocities was developed in the early 20th century to describe the different escape velocities from celestial bodies. The third cosmic velocity specifically relates to Earth's escape velocity, becoming prominent with advancements in astronautics and space exploration.
Current Use
The third cosmic velocity is used in space mission planning to determine the required speed for spacecraft to leave Earth's gravitational influence and reach interplanetary or interstellar space.
