About Kilometer per Hour (km/h)
Used for vehicle speedometers and speed limits in most countries outside the US and UK, the kilometer per hour is the most widely displayed speed unit on Earth. Highway speed limits typically range from 80 to 130 km/h, and weather services in metric countries report wind speeds in km/h.
About Meter per Second (m/s)
The SI derived unit of speed, meters per second is the standard in physics and engineering for expressing velocities. Wind speeds in scientific contexts, projectile velocities, and fluid flow rates are measured in m/s. The speed of sound at sea level is approximately 343 m/s.
