What does Cosmic velocity - first represent?

It is the minimum tangential speed needed at a certain distance from a celestial body's center to maintain a stable circular orbit, often calculated at the body's surface.

Why convert Cosmic velocity - first to yard/hour?

This conversion helps express extremely high orbital speeds in a familiar linear imperial unit, useful for comparison and educational purposes.

Is yard/hour suitable for measuring cosmic velocities practically?

No, yard/hour is intended for very slow speeds and is mostly used here for theoretical comparisons rather than practical measurement of orbital velocities.
