Cosmic Velocity - Second
CV2
Definition
The second cosmic velocity is the minimum speed required for an object to escape Earth's gravitational field completely. It represents the escape velocity from Earth, allowing an object to travel to other celestial bodies or into deep space.
History/Origin
The second cosmic velocity was calculated as part of orbital mechanics theory and became essential for interplanetary space missions. It represents the speed required to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and travel to other planets.
Current Use
The second cosmic velocity is used in aerospace engineering for interplanetary missions, deep space exploration, and spacecraft design. It is fundamental to understanding space travel beyond Earth's orbit and to other celestial bodies.

Knot
kt
Definition
The knot is a unit of speed used in maritime and aviation contexts, representing one nautical mile per hour. It is the standard unit for measuring ship speeds, aircraft speeds, and wind speeds in navigation and meteorology worldwide.
History/Origin
The knot has its origins in maritime navigation, where sailors used a rope with knots tied at regular intervals to measure ship speed. The term "knot" comes from this practice, and it became the standard unit for maritime and aviation speeds.
Current Use
The knot is used worldwide in maritime navigation for ship speeds, in aviation for aircraft speeds, in meteorology for wind speeds, and in various navigation applications. It is the standard unit in these fields regardless of the country's measurement system.
