Speed of light

Speed of light (c) measures distance covered per unit of time.

History: Speed of light comes from the practical pairing of a length unit with a time unit for everyday or technical use.

Current use: Speed of light appears in mechanical, navigational, and engineering speed references.

Also written as c.

Meter per second

A meter per second represents one meter traveled each second.

History: It follows directly from the SI units for length and time.

Current use: Meters per second are used in science, physics, and technical calculations.

Also written as m/s, mps, meters per second, metres per second.
