The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (or about 299,792 kilometers per second). To calculate 8% of the speed of light, we multiply the speed of light by 0.08:
299,792,458 m/s * 0.08 = 23,983,396.64 m/s
Therefore, 8% of the speed of light is approximately 23,983,396.64 meters per second.
