What does Earth's velocity represent in this conversion?

Earth's velocity is the instantaneous speed and direction of Earth relative to a defined reference frame, such as heliocentric or geocentric, typically expressed in meters or kilometers per second.

Why use mile per minute instead of miles per hour or kilometers per hour?

Mile per minute provides a convenient conversion between metric speeds and speeds expressed with time units in minutes, helpful in simulations and scenarios where minutes are the time base.

Can this conversion be used for precise scientific mission planning?

This conversion is suitable for approximate visualization and comparison. Precise calculations should account for variable Earth velocities and use standard scientific units.
