85 km/s = 0.000284 c
Full precision:0.00028353 c
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 85 kilometers per second to speed of light, we divide by 299792.46 because one speed of light equals exactly 299792.46 kilometers per second.
1 speed of light = 299792.46 kilometers per second
Since there are 299792.46 kilometers per second in every speed of light, we divide our value by this factor:
85 ÷ 299792.46 = 0.000284 speed of light
So 85 kilometers per second = 0.000284 speed of light.
Quick check: 0.000284 × 299792.46 = 85 kilometers per second
