Lightspeed

LightSpeed refers to the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). In physics, it is denoted by the letter c and is considered the ultimate speed limit of the universe according to Einstein's theory of relativity. The term is often used metaphorically to describe something that is extremely fast or rapid. In Hebrew, it can be translated as מהירות האור (Mehirot Ha'or). In other languages, it is known as Lichtgeschwindigkeit in German, Vitesse de la lumière in French, and Velocidad de la luz in Spanish.
