Speed of light (c) to Kilometers per hour (km/h) Conversion
Speed of light
The speed of light in a vacuum (c) is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second — a fundamental constant of nature and the ultimate speed limit of the universe. It is the basis of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, which establishes that no object with mass can reach or exceed this speed. The definition of the metre itself is anchored to c: one metre is the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Kilometers per hour
Kilometres per hour (km/h) is the standard unit for expressing speed in road transport, meteorology, and everyday life in all metric-system countries. Converting km/h to metres per second requires dividing by 3.6. Average human walking speed is approximately 5 km/h, highway speed limits range from 100 to 130 km/h, and commercial aircraft cruise at approximately 900 km/h.
