Cosmic Velocity - Second
Cosmic velocity is the minimum velocity an object must have to escape the gravitational influence of a celestial body without further propulsion.
History/Origin
The concept of cosmic velocity originated in the early 20th century with the development of orbital mechanics and space exploration, initially used to describe escape velocities from planets and the Earth.
Current Use
Cosmic velocity is used in astrophysics and space science to determine escape velocities for spacecraft and celestial bodies, aiding in mission planning and understanding gravitational influences.
Earth's Velocity
Earth's velocity refers to the speed at which Earth moves through space, typically measured relative to the Sun or the cosmic microwave background.
History/Origin
The concept of Earth's velocity has been studied since the heliocentric model was proposed in the 16th century, with measurements improving through astronomical observations and modern satellite technology.
Current Use
Earth's velocity is used in astronomy, astrophysics, and space science to understand Earth's motion relative to other celestial bodies and the universe, often expressed in kilometers per second or miles per hour.
