Kilometers per Second to Meters per Second

Convert kilometers per second (km/s) to meters per second (m/s) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

Kilometers per Second (km/s)

km/s

Meters per Second (m/s)

m/s

1 km/s = 1000 m/s

Full precision:1000 m/s

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 kilometers per second to meters per second, we multiply by 1000 because one kilometer per second equals exactly 1000 meters per second.

1 kilometer per second = 1000 meters per second

Since each kilometer per second contains 1000 meters per second, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 1000 = 1000 meters per second

So 1 kilometers per second = 1000 meters per second.

✓Quick check: 1000 ÷ 1000 = 1 kilometers per second

How to Convert Kilometers per Second to Meters per Second

To convert kilometers per second to meters per second, multiply the value by 1000.

Meters per Second = Kilometers per Second × 1000

1 kilometer per second = 1000 meters per second

Tip: To convert meters per second back to kilometers per second, divide by 1000.

Example 1: 1 km/s = 1000 m/s
1 × 1000 = 1000

Example 2: 5 km/s = 5000 m/s
5 × 1000 = 5000

Example 3: 10 km/s = 10000 m/s
10 × 1000 = 10000
