About these units
Millimeter/Second (mm/s)
A millimeter per second is a useful speed in robotics, precision machining, biomechanics, and controlled engineering systems. Robotic arms performing delicate manipulation, small servo motors, and scanning instruments often operate in the mm/s speed range. In seismology, mm/s measures the vibration velocities of the ground during micro tremors, making it essential in structural engineering and earthquake monitoring. It reflects the world of fine-scale, controlled motion—beyond what the human eye typically detects.
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.
