C=186 000mi/sec x 3600sec = Average velocity of light which is 669 millions 600 thousand miles per hour, relative to the Earth in local space. The sun which gives light at that speed is 93 million miles away from the Earth. The Speed of lig...

Now, knowing how much Io's timing seemed to change and how much the distance from earth to Jupiter varied, Roemer was able to calculate a value for the speed of light. The number he came up with was about 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 kilometers per second.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light, so the number of nanoseconds divided by 2 tells the radar ... So to measure really long distances, people use a unit called a light year. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second). Therefore, a light second is 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers).

The slowest speed of light ever recorded was 27.5 miles per hour. Yes, twenty-seven and a half miles per hour. This was achieved in 1998 by shining light through a cloud of sodium ions known as a Bose-Eisenstein Condensate.

Light Speed Reduction to 38 Miles per Hour ... Yes, that's correct, a 20-million-fold reduction in the speed of light! The physicists have created conditions under which light travels at only 17 meters per second, which is about 38 miles per hour -- a speed that cars approximately move through a city.
