Can anyone say what percentage of the speed of light that is?
- dkural 5y ago~%0.02 the speed of light. So less one in five thousandth the speed of light.

- skissane 5y agoAbout 0.02%
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 5y ago130,000 / Speed of light: 670,616,629mph = 0.00019385144% the speed of light

- dkural 5y agoThe ratio is not a percent. For example, 1/100 = 0.01 = 1% - i.e. NOT 0.01% So you would get 0.019385144% speed of light in your calculation.
