800,000 seconds per minute
Light travel approximately 3x10^8 ms-1 or approx 186,000 miles/second.
The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second.
distance = speed x time. Multiply the speed of light (in miles/second in this case) by the time in seconds, to get the distance travel in miles.
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles.
Light travels 186,282.397 miles per second. That is 983,571,056 feet per second.
Since a microsecond is a millionth of a second, just divide the distance light travels in one second, by a million.
First of all, light does not travel that fast. Light travels approximately at 299792458m/s. Assuming ~30 years is a generation, then we get 1181781869436000m or 734325209175.91267000715819613457 miles.
186,000miles per second in a vacuum, slightly less in air.
Electricity seems to travel at about .66 of the speed of light through a normal cable. This converts to 197863022.28 miles per second. This number can change depending on the cable.

6.81 km/s = 4.23 miles per second
less than a second if a mirror a second
Around 5,881,986,000,000 miles (5.88 trillion).
300,000 km/second
789456123miles a second
light can travel around earth about seven times
Light could travel seven and a half times around the world in one second.
To round it off, it is 186,000 miles a second in a vacuum.
