About Converting Centimeter per Seconds to Millimeter per Seconds
Centimeter per Seconds and Millimeter per Seconds both describe speed, and the conversion matters whenever a maritime or aviation speed (knots) needs to be compared against a road speed (mph). Both are distance divided by time units.
Formula
millimeter per seconds = centimeter per seconds × 10
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centimeter per seconds equals 0.01 base units, and 1 millimeter per seconds equals 0.001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centimeter per seconds-to-millimeter per seconds factor of 10.
Simple example
1 cm/s × 10 = 10 mm/s
1 centimeter per seconds = 10 millimeter per seconds.
Real-world example
10 cm/s × 10 = 100 mm/s
10 centimeter per seconds = 100 millimeter per seconds.
Conversion table
| Centimeter per Seconds (cm/s) | Millimeter per Seconds (mm/s) |
|---|---|
| 1 cm/s | 10 mm/s |
| 5 cm/s | 50 mm/s |
| 10 cm/s | 100 mm/s |
| 25 cm/s | 250 mm/s |
| 50 cm/s | 500 mm/s |
| 100 cm/s | 1,000 mm/s |
Reverse conversion: Millimeter per Seconds to Centimeter per Seconds
10 mm/s × 0.1 = 1 cm/s
10 millimeter per seconds = 1 centimeter per seconds.
centimeter per seconds = millimeter per seconds × 0.1

Frequently asked questions
How many millimeter per seconds are in 1 centimeter per seconds?
1 centimeter per seconds equals 10 millimeter per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centimeter per seconds to millimeter per seconds?
Multiply the centimeter per seconds value by 10. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert millimeter per seconds back to centimeter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 millimeter per seconds equals 0.1 centimeter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centimeter per seconds?
Centimeter per Seconds (cm/s) is a unit of speed.
What is a millimeter per seconds?
Millimeter per Seconds (mm/s) is a unit of speed.
Is the centimeter per seconds to millimeter per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both centimeter per seconds and millimeter per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 10 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
