To round it off, it is 186,000 miles a second in a vacuum.
The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second.
Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum.
distance = speed x time. Multiply the speed of light (in miles/second in this case) by the time in seconds, to get the distance travel in miles.
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second, in vacuum. It's slightly less in a material medium.
Since a microsecond is a millionth of a second, just divide the distance light travels in one second, by a million.
miles... in kph??? Anyway, the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second; you can convert that to whatever unit you want. For example, to convert to kilometers/hour, multiply by 3600.
Light travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second or 669,600,000 miles per hour. Light travels somewhat slower when it is "in" something, such as glass or water.
There are 186,000 miles per second in the speed of light...but sound is slower. Your question need to have more information. There are not any miles in a second. Seconds are a measurement of time, while miles are a measurement of length or distance.
Light travels at a speed of approximately 186,282 miles per second. In 17 minutes, light would travel approximately 62,687,700 miles.
In a vacuum, the speed of light is always 670,616,629 miles per hour (300,000 kilometers per second). The speed of light changes as it enters a different medium, such as Earth's atmosphere, but the change in speed is essentially negligible.
The speed of light in a vacuum is 186282.397 miles per second.The distance something travels in a given time and at constant speed is given byd = s*twhere d is the distance traveled, s is the speed, and t is the time.In our case, s = 186282.397 miles per second and t= 100 seconds.d = (186282.397 miles per second)*(100 seconds) = 18628239.7 milesSo, in 100 seconds, light travels 18628239.7 miles.
A "light year" is the distance that light travels in one year. Light travels so fast that the speed of light is measured in miles per second or km per second. You probably already know how many seconds are in a minute (60), how many minutes are in an hour (60), how many hours are in a day (24), and how many days are in a year (365.24). So if you knew the speed of light, you could multiply all those numbers together and figure out how far light travels in a year. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second or 300,00 kilometers per second.
