Convert kilometers per second to meters per second with this simple formula:

meters per second = kilometers per second × 1,000

Converting a kilometer per second speed measurement to a meter per second measurement involves multiplying your speed by the conversion ratio to find the result. A kilometer per second is equal to 1,000 meters per second, so to convert simply multiply by 1,000.

For example:

5 km/sec = (5 × 1,000) = 5,000 m/sec
