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 Knot (kn)
Equal to one nautical mile per hour (1.852 km/h), the knot is the universal speed unit in maritime and aviation navigation. Its name comes from the historical practice of measuring a ship's speed by counting knots on a rope paid out over a fixed time. Tropical storm and hurricane wind speeds are reported in knots internationally.
