How to Convert Speed of Light to Kilometers per Hour

To convert from the speed of light (c) to kilometers per hour (km/h), you multiply the speed of light value by 1,079,252,848.8. This is because 1 speed of light is equal to 1,079,252,848.8 kilometers per hour.

Formula

Kilometers per Hour = Speed of Light × 1,079,252,848.8

or

km/h = c × 1,079,252,848.8

Step-by-step process

  1. Take the measurement in speed of light
  2. Multiply that number by 1,079,252,848.8
  3. The result is the equivalent speed in kilometers per hour

Examples

  • 1 c = 1 × 1,079,252,848.8 = 1,079,252,848.8 km/h
  • 0.5 c = 0.5 × 1,079,252,848.8 = 539,626,424.4 km/h
