CommonMeters per second, km/h, mph and more.
How to convert Speed of Light to Meters per Second
Multiply the speed of light value by 2.9979e+8: 1 c = 2.9979e+8 m/s. Going the other way, 1 m/s = 3.3356e-9 c, so divide by 2.9979e+8 or use the Meters per Second to Speed of Light converter.
About these units
Speed of Light (c)
The speed of light in a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. Nothing carrying information can travel faster, and it is used to define the meter.
Meters per Second (m/s)
Meters per second is the SI unit of speed. Walking pace is about 1.4 m/s, and 1 m/s equals 3.6 km/h.
