Conversion factor

km/h = m/s × 3.6

1 m/s = 3.6 km/h

Multiply by 3.6 km/h to go from meters/second to kilometers/hour, or divide by it to come back. The factor and every value below are computed by the same converter that runs at /convert, so this page and the tool cannot disagree.

Frequently asked questions

How many kilometers/hour are in one meter/second?

One meter/second is 3.6 km/h, so 100 m/s is 360 km/h.

What is the formula to convert meters/second to kilometers/hour?

km/h = m/s × 3.6. Multiply the value in meters/second by 3.6 to get kilometers/hour.

How do I convert kilometers/hour back to meters/second?

m/s = km/h × 0.277777778, so 1 km/h is 0.277777778 m/s. The km/h to m/s page carries the same table in that direction.
