Does average speed include the time it takes sitting at a red light?

YES
But ideally, NO.
Explanation:
Ideally, the calculated average speed should NOTinclude stopped time.
But on a device like a GPS, time spent stopped IS included in your average speed,
thus lowering it significantly.

What is the average constant speed of light in vacuum?
The speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 meters per second, and that's not an average. That's what it always is.
How does the average speed of light glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
About 2/3 its speed in a vacuum.
How does the average speed of light in glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
3/4th
How does the average speed of light in glass compass with its speed in a vacuum?
There are several different types of glass, and light has a somewhat different speed in each of them. On the average, the speed of light across all typical types of glass is in the neighborhood of 2/3 its speed in vacuum, or around 200,000 km/sec .
In 1 hour how much kilometer cover?
Depends on your average speed. Distance = Speed*Time. If travelling at the speed of light, 1.08 billion kilometres. If at the speed of a garden snail, 0.05 kilometers.
Average speed of light?
The speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 km/second.
Is it possible to attain light speed?
Only if you are a photon. In that case, you always move at the speed of light. If you're not a photon, and have any mass while you're sitting still, and are not moving at the speed of light right now, then you can never attain light speed.
Does average speed include direction?
yes.
What is the average constant speed of light in vacuum?
The speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 meters per second, and that's not an average. That's what it always is.
Does the earth revolve around the sun at the speed of light?
No material object ever moves at the speed of light. The Earth's speed in its solar orbit ... relative to a foolish astronomer sitting on the sun ... is about 29.78 kilometers per second. That's about 0.0001 of the speed of light.
What is The average speed of light in outer space?
The speed of light in a vacuum is about 300,000,000 kilometers per second. Since light can't travel at any other speed (in a vacuum), that's also the average speed.
How does the average speed of light glass compare with its speed in a vacuum?
About 2/3 its speed in a vacuum.

What is your speed while sitting?
It depends what you are sitting on or in.
Which waves travel the fastest?
The light wave, which is electromagnetic energy, is the fastest wave. The speed of light, which is a physics constant, is the speed of light in a vacuum, and no object with mass can be accelerated to this speed.
Can any object move with the velocity of light?
No object that has mass when it's just sitting there on the table can move at the speed of light. Photons have zero "rest mass".
