What is cosmic velocity - second?

It is the minimum speed necessary to leave a celestial body's gravitational field without further propulsion, often called escape velocity.

Why convert cosmic velocity to miles per hour?

Converting to miles per hour helps express very high space speeds in familiar terms, aiding understanding and communication.

Is cosmic velocity commonly used in everyday speed measurements?

No, cosmic velocity values are much higher than typical terrestrial speeds and are primarily relevant in space and mission planning.
