The speed of light is calculated by the equation: c = 3.0 x 10 to the power of 8 which comes to 300,000,000 meters per second or about 187,500 m.p.h.

The speed of light is approxiametly 300,000 meters per second or 186,000 miles per hour. The speed of light changes in the medium it flows through. The two values mentioned apply to light speed in a vaccum. In other mediums it can slow down depending on the material.
