Converting from Kilometer per second (km/s) to Hours per kilometer (h/km)

What is Kilometer per second (km/s)

Kilometer per second (km/s) is a unit of speed used in the metric system to represent the distance traveled in kilometers in one second. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering fields to measure high-speed movements.

What is Hours per kilometer (h/km)

Hours per kilometer (h/km) is another unit of speed used to represent the time taken to travel one kilometer. Unlike km/s, h/km measures speed in terms of the time taken to cover a fixed distance rather than the distance covered in a fixed time period.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from kilometers per second (km/s) to hours per kilometer (h/km), you can use the following formula:

h/km=km/s1​×3600

To convert from hours per kilometer (h/km) to kilometers per second (km/s), you can use the following formula:

km/s=h/km1​×3600

Examples

• Converting 8 km/s to h/km:

h/km=81​×3600=0.00003472222

• Converting 12 h/km to km/s:

km/s=121​×3600=0.00002314815

• Converting 5 km/s to h/km:

h/km=51​×3600=0.00005555556
