How to Convert Speed of Light to Feet per Second
To convert from the speed of light (c) to feet per second (ft/s), you multiply the speed of light value by 983,571,056.4. This is because 1 speed of light is equal to 983,571,056.4 feet per second.
Formula
Feet per Second = Speed of Light × 983,571,056.4
or
ft/s = c × 983,571,056.4
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in speed of light
- Multiply that number by 983,571,056.4
- The result is the equivalent speed in feet per second
Examples
- 1 c = 1 × 983,571,056.4 = 983,571,056.4 ft/s
- 0.5 c = 0.5 × 983,571,056.4 = 491,785,528.2 ft/s
