What does Cosmic velocity - second represent?

It is the minimum escape speed an object needs relative to a celestial body’s surface to break free from its gravitational pull without further propulsion.

Can this conversion be used for celestial bodies other than Earth?

Since cosmic velocity depends on the specific gravitational field of a body, the fixed conversion factor is not universally applicable to other celestial bodies.

Convert Cosmic Velocity - Second to Earth's Velocity

Q: Why convert Cosmic velocity - second to Earth's velocity?

Converting helps compare escape speeds in terms of Earth's instantaneous velocity, which is useful for mission planning and velocity budgeting relative to Earth's motion.
