988 meters per second in kilometers per hour

Conversion

988 meters per second is equivalent to 3556.8 kilometers per hour.^[1]

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.000281151596941071 times 988 meters per second.

It can also be expressed as: 988 meters per second is equal to $\frac{1}{0.000281151596941071}$ kilometers per hour.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: nine hundred and eighty-eight meters per second is about zero kilometers per hour, or alternatively, a kilometer per hour is about zero times nine hundred and eighty-eight meters per second.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Meters Per Second

"Meter per second is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.The SI unit symbols are m·s−1, m s−1, m/s, or m/s, sometimes (unofficially) abbreviated as mps. Where metres per second are several orders of magnitude too slow to be convenient, such as in astronomical measurements, velocities may be given in kilometres per second, where 1 km/s is 1000 metres per second, sometimes unofficially abbreviated as kps."

Kilometers Per Hour

"The kilometer per hour is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometres travelled in one hour. The unit symbol is km/h. Worldwide, it is the most commonly used unit of speed on road signs and car speedometers."
