## How the conversion works

The relationship is c = m/s × 3.335640952 × 10^-9. Both units measure speed, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

> Speed of light: Exact by definition.

## Common questions

### How many times the speed of light are in one meter per second?

One meter per second equals 3.336 × 10^-9 times the speed of light. c = m/s × 3.335640952 × 10^-9.

### How do you convert meters per second to times the speed of light?

Use c = m/s × 3.335640952 × 10^-9. So 10 m/s is 3.336 × 10^-8 c.
