"Speed" is weird Word to use here.
"What time unit is shorter than a nanosecond" would have made more sense.
"Nano" is a prefix from the International Standard of Units.
There are
10 deciseconds in a second.
100 centiseconds
1,000 milliseconds
1,000,000 microseconds
1,000,000,000 nanoseconds
1,000,000,000,000 picaseconds
1,000,000,000,000,000 femtoseconds
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 attoseconds
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 zeptoseconds
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 yoctoseconds

No, one nanosecond (ns) is equivalent to one billionth of a second. The speed of light is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, which means that light travels about 0.3 meters in one nanosecond. So, light is much faster than a nanosecond.
Those are really measures of time, not of "fastness" or speed.But if something takes less time, you can say that it occurs faster - in this case, 1 microsecond is less time, and therefore faster.
Faster Than the Speed of Night was created in 1983-04.
No known particles can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, according to the theory of special relativity. In a medium like water, particles such as neutrinos can travel faster than the speed of light in that medium, but not in a vacuum. In solids, sound waves can propagate faster than light as well.
