About converting Foot per Sec to Speed of Light

Converting Foot per Sec to Speed of Light is a common speed conversion. One foot per sec (ft/s) equals 1.016000e-9 speed of light (c). Feet per second are used in ballistics, engineering, and some US speed calculations.

This conversion is commonly needed for driving and speed limit compliance, running and fitness tracking, aviation and flight planning. Celsius is used in most countries worldwide and in all scientific applications.

To put foot per sec in perspective: a fast elevator (about 20 ft/s). In speed of light, common references include water freezes (0 °C).

Real-world examples
Foot per Sec (ft/s)
  • a fast elevator (about 20 ft/s)
  • a pitched baseball (about 130 ft/s)
  • the speed of sound (about 1,125 ft/s)
Speed of Light (c)
  • water freezes (0 °C)
  • a comfortable room (21 °C)
  • water boils (100 °C)
Did you know?

The Celsius scale was invented by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, but he originally set 0° as boiling and 100° as freezing — it was later reversed.
