About these units
Centimeter/Second (cm/s)
A centimeter per second is widely used in hydrology, biology, and physics to measure modest fluid flows, blood velocities, small organism movement, or lab-scale chemical transport. In medicine, cm/s is important in Doppler ultrasound, where blood flow speeds in arteries and veins are routinely measured. In physical sciences, cm/s appears in low-speed fluid mechanics experiments, sediment transport studies, and oceanographic microcurrent analysis. It offers a convenient, human-comprehensible scale for small but dynamic systems.
Earth's Velocity (v⊕)
Earth's orbital velocity around the Sun averages about 29.78 km/s, or roughly 107,000 km/h. This enormous speed is imperceptible to us because everything on Earth—including its atmosphere—moves with the planet. Earth's velocity varies slightly over the year due to its elliptical orbit, being fastest at perihelion (closest to the Sun) and slowest at aphelion (farthest distance). This velocity influences astronomical observations, Doppler shifts in starlight, and the calibration of spacecraft navigation. Earth's motion through the Solar System is a reminder that even when we feel stationary, we are traveling at extraordinary speeds through space.
