500 metres is 0.31 miles: whether that distance is covered in a nanosecond or over a period of years.
A new invention from the Second Industrial Revolution that excited the public was the electric light bulb invented by Thomas Edison. And when George Westinghouse built a power system, which made electricity to travel from many miles away, electricity spread to many homes, businesses, and factories.
about 4 inches, well thats how how many inches my spoon is., or maybe 5 inches

1 nanosecond = 10-9 sec = 0.000000001 sec = 1 billionth of a sec. (Roughly the time it takes light/radio to travel one foot.)
About 0.3 meters in a vacuum. Divide that by 1.0003 to get the distance in meters per nanosecond through air. Divide by 1.5 for glass.
3.14159265358 moments make up 1 nanosecond
Distance = velocity * time = 299792458 m / s * 0.000000001 sec = 0.299792458 metres
1,000 of them.

1,000,000,000 = 1 second
A nanosecond is one billionth of a second. One second is a billion nanoseconds. It is a VERY small slice of time.
I'm not really sure...
1 year = 3.1556926 × 1016 nanoseconds
( 1 nanosecond) x (1,000,000,000 nanoseconds/second) x (60 second/minute) = 60 billion nanosecond/minute
