About Speed of Light (c)
Exactly 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum, the speed of light is a fundamental physical constant and the ultimate speed limit in the universe. Fiber optic signals travel at about 0.67c through glass, and GPS satellites must account for relativistic time dilation caused by their orbital speed relative to Earth's surface.
About Foot per Second (ft/s)
Used primarily in ballistics, fluid dynamics, and some US engineering applications, feet per second measures relatively slow speeds in imperial units. Bullet muzzle velocities are commonly given in fps (e.g., 2,800 fps for a rifle round), and elevator speeds in tall buildings are often specified in feet per second.
