explain speed of light

Speed of light? Psh. It’s no big deal. It’s just the fastest speed in the universe: a whopping 299,792,458 meters per second! That’s almost 670 million miles per hour. To put that into perspective, if you were driving at the speed of light you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in just one second. Crazy, right? And here’s a fun fact: the speed of light is constant regardless of the motion of the observer. So no matter how fast you’re going, you’re never going to catch up to that light!
