This page will explain the meaning of three kinds of variables related to velocity. Velocity itself can be described as the vector, i.e. both a magnitude (speed) and direction, by which an object in motion moves. In EVE, velocity is almost always in units of meters per second (m/s). This is often displayed as a scalar quantity, which can be misleading or confusing since they really mean speed in most cases. For the purposes of EVE, we will relax this formalism to aid in understanding and simply say that '''velocity is the speed of an object'''.
