진공에서 빛이 이동하는 정확한 속도: 299,792,458 m/s이며, 1983년부터 미터를 정의하는 데 사용된다.

설명

Because the speed of light is fixed by definition, the meter is now defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second. At this speed, light circles the Earth 7.5 times per second and travels from the Moon to Earth in about 1.28 seconds. Nothing with mass can reach this speed: at 99% of c, time dilation already causes a factor of 7 difference between moving and stationary clocks.
