What is Cosmic velocity - second?

The second cosmic velocity, or escape velocity, is the minimum speed required for an object to break free from a celestial body's gravitational field without additional propulsion.

Why convert Cosmic velocity - second to Meter/hour?

Converting to Meter per hour allows expressing extremely high astronomical speeds in a unit more common for slow, terrestrial movements, helping provide practical speed comparisons.

Is Meter/hour a common unit for cosmic speeds?

No, Meter per hour is best used for very slow velocities. Using it for cosmic speeds results in very large numbers that can be difficult to interpret.
