Square meters per second to square centimeters per second

Type a value in m²/s to get it in cm²/s instantly.

0.1cm²/s

That's 6,667× as fast as salt in water, while a gas in air is 2× faster. In an hour a molecule would wander about 268.3 mm.

What it means

How fast does it spread?

Diffusion distances go with the square root of time: four times as long gets you only twice as far.

The math

How to convert m²/s to cm²/s

To convert square meters per second to square centimeters per second, multiply by 10,000.

Example: 1×10⁻⁵ m²/s × 10,000 = 0.1 cm²/s.

In the other direction, 1 cm²/s = 0.0001 m²/s.
