Speed of light (c) to Miles per hour (mph) 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.
Miles per hour
Miles per hour (mph) is the unit of speed used in road transport in the United States, United Kingdom, and a small number of other countries.
