What is Earth's velocity in this conversion?

Earth's velocity refers to Earth's instantaneous velocity vector relative to a specific reference frame, such as the heliocentric or geocentric frame, commonly expressed in meters or kilometers per second.

Why convert Earth's velocity to millimeter/minute?

This conversion helps compare very large astronomical speeds to the slow, precise linear speeds used in engineering and laboratory contexts.

Can this conversion be used for practical speed measurements?

Due to the huge difference in scale, this conversion is mainly theoretical or illustrative and not meant for practical real-time measurements.
