What does cosmic velocity - second represent?

It is the minimum speed an object must have to escape a celestial body's gravitational field without further propulsion.

Why convert cosmic velocity - second to centimeter per hour?

To express extremely high orbital or escape velocities in a linear speed unit relevant for some scientific comparisons and slow speed measurements.

Is this conversion practical for everyday speed measurements?

No, because of the vast magnitude differences, it mainly serves theoretical or educational purposes.
