Example: convert 15 km/min to None:
15 km/min = 15 × 0.000559659726887173 None = 0.00839489590330759 None
Kilometer/minute to Earth's Velocity Conversion Table
| kilometer/minute | Earth's velocity |

Kilometer/minute
Kilometer per minute (km/min) is a unit of speed representing the distance of one kilometer traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The kilometer per minute has been used primarily in contexts requiring rapid measurement of speed, such as in transportation and engineering, though it is less common than units like km/h or m/s. Its usage has declined with the adoption of standardized SI units.
Current Use
Today, km/min is mainly used in specialized fields like aviation, military, or scientific calculations where high-speed measurements are relevant, but it is not a standard unit in everyday measurements or most international standards.
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.
