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 meters per second?

To express escape velocities in a standard SI unit widely used in scientific and engineering fields for clarity and consistency.

Is the escape velocity constant for all celestial bodies?

No, it varies by the celestial body and altitude; this tool uses Earth's standard escape velocity for conversion.
