What is a Kilometer per Second?
The Kilometer per Second (km/s) is a metric unit of speed equal to 1,000 meters per second. It is often used in astronomy and rocketry.
What is a Speed of Light (Vacuum)?
The Speed of Light (c) in vacuum is a universal physical constant exactly equal to 299,792,458 meters per second. According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed at which all conventional matter and information in the universe can travel.
How to Convert Kilometer per Second to Speed of Light (Vacuum)
To convert Kilometer per Second to Speed of Light (Vacuum), divide the Kilometer per Second value by 299792.
c = km/s ÷ 299792Manual Calculation Steps
Step 1: Identify the Formula
The standard formula to convert from Kilometer per Second to Speed of Light (Vacuum) is:
c = km/s ÷ 299792Step 2: Plug in the Value
Substitute the value you want to convert (for example, 5 km/s) into the formula.
Step 3: Calculate the Result
Perform the calculation to get the result in Speed of Light (Vacuum).
