What does square centimeter per second measure?

Square centimeter per second (cm²/s) is the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density, indicating a fluid's momentum diffusivity.

When should I use megastokes?

Megastokes are used to express extremely large kinematic viscosity values, commonly applied in theoretical, astrophysical, or planetary fluid-dynamics contexts.

How do I convert from square centimeters per second to megastokes?

Multiply the value in square centimeters per second by 0.000001 to get the equivalent value in megastokes.
