What is the Speed of Light?

The speed of light in a vacuum is an internationally accepted physical constant represented by the symbol c.

Its exact value is:

c = 299,792.458 kilometres per second (km/s)

299,792,458 metres per second (m/s)

Light travels extremely fast, covering nearly 300,000 kilometres every second.

Light Speed Conversion Formula

The standard value of light speed is:

1 c = 299,792.458 km/s

Kilometres per Second

km/s = Light Speed × 299,792.458

Kilometres per Minute

km/min = km/s × 60

Light Speed × 17,987,547.48

Kilometres per Hour

km/h = km/s × 3,600

Light Speed × 1,079,252,848.8

Kilometres per Day

km/day = km/h × 24

Distance Travelled Formula

If light travels for a specific duration:

Distance = Speed × Time

Where:

Speed = 299,792.458 km/s
Time = Seconds

Example 1

Convert:

1 Light Speed

Calculation:

1 × 299,792.458

= 299,792.458 km/s

Example 2

Convert:

2 Light Speed

Calculation:

2 × 299,792.458

= 599,584.916 km/s

Example 3

Distance Travelled in 10 Seconds

Formula:

299,792.458 × 10

= 2,997,924.58 km

Example 4

Distance Travelled in 1 Minute

299,792.458 × 60

= 17,987,547.48 km
