meter per minute to kilometer per second
Convert meter per minute (m/min) to kilometer per second (km/s). Use an editable speed converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 m/min = 0.00001666666667 km/s
Conversion formula
One meter per minute equals 0.00001666666667 kilometer per second. Multiply your value in meter per minute by this factor to get kilometer per second. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 meter per minute:5 × 0.00001666666667 = 0.00008333333333 km/s

About these measurements
Speed is distance traveled per unit of time.
The base reference used here is the meter per second. One meter per minute is 0.01666666667 base units; one kilometer per second is 1,000 base units.
Important distinctions
Mach is excluded because the speed of sound depends on medium and temperature.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert m/min to km/s?
