I'm writing about a spaceship traveling at sublight speeds. I know that covering one light-second of distance will take four hours, seventeen minutes.
How would I name that speed in terms of mph, kph, or a percentage of light speed. I thought I knew what calculations to do to figure it out for myself, but I confused myself, and now I don't trust my judgement on the matter.
I'm sure there's a webpage out there to tell me the answer. Anybody care to help out a math-challenged old broad?
