The speed of light varies depending on what kind of material it's traveling through.
It's fastest when in vacuum, and it's different, and slower, in air, water, alcohol,
oil, glass, jello, etc.

What causes the speed of light to vary?
Obstructions, black holes, etc.
Why might the distance traveled in a given second vary on a graph showing speed?
because the speed is constant..
Is speed that does not vary is called average speed?
No, speed can vary and one can still calculate the average speed of an entire trip. Average speed is equal to the change in distance divided by the change in time.
What is Formula for converting watts to foot candles?
Foot-candle is a unit of light intensity, not of power like watts. The power would vary, depending on the color of the light.Foot-candle is a unit of light intensity, not of power like watts.

What is the speed of a cyclist that travels 60km in 2 hours?
The average speed is (60 km) / (2 hr) = 30 km/hr. The speed along the way would most likely vary above and below that number.
What would cause a speedometer to vary in readings while driving at one speed?
well one of the problems might be the speed-do cable either being old or needs to be tighten.
Does convection or conduction travel at the speed of light?
No. The speeds of convection and conduction vary, but they are nowhere near the speed of light.
What is the speed of light at sea level called?
The speed of light. (It doesn't vary depending on altitude, or any other factor.)
How fast does speed of light travel on venus?
Speed of light doesn't travel. Light travels.The speed of light doesn't vary depending on the planet; it may, however, vary depending what it goes through. For example, the speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 km/second; the speed of light in glass is about 2/3 of that value.
What causes the speed of light to vary?
Obstructions, black holes, etc.
Why does the speed of light vary?
The speed of light varies because the absolute speed of light "C" is measured in a vacuum. When light travels through air, it goes slightly slower. When light travels through denser mediums still, such as glass, the speed decreases further still.
Why might the distance traveled in a given second vary on a graph showing speed?
because the speed is constant..
Is the speed of sound equal to the speed of light?
No, not even close. Light travels at 300,000,000 meters/sec but sound only at 340 meters/sec
Does light travel fastest through solids liquids gases or empty spaces?
Technically the speed of light does not vary because of the material, because the speed of light is a constant at around 300,000km/s
Is light faster in cold or warm air?
basicly the answer is that light speed does not vary due to weather. This is a difficult subject to understand I really recommend the wikipedia light speed article. Go below for the link
What color travels most slowly in glass?
The speed of light does not vary by the color that it is perceived as, so all of the colors should travel at the same speed.
How fast did chariot go?
They travel to the speed of light? to it? and where exactly is the speed of light?
