  4. Light-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-second

    The light-second is a unit of length useful in astronomy, telecommunications and relativistic physics. It is defined as the distance that light travels in free space in one second , and is equal to exactly 299 792 458 m (approximately 983 571 055 ft or 186 282 miles ).

  5. Foot per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_per_second

    The foot per second (plural feet per second) is a unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity, which includes direction). [1] It expresses the distance in feet (ft) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds (s). [2] The corresponding unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the meter per second.

    The record for most time in space is held by Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, who has spent 1110 days, 14 hours, 57 minutes in space over five missions. He broke the record of Gennady Padalka on 4 February 2024 at 07:30:08 UTC during his fifth spaceflight aboard Soyuz MS-24 / 25 for a one year long-duration mission on the ISS . [ 21 ]

    The second is, in turn, defined to be the length of time occupied by 9 192 631 770 cycles of the radiation emitted by a caesium-133 atom in a transition between two specified energy states. [13] By using the value of c , as well as an accurate measurement of the second, one can establish a standard for the metre.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of time is the second (symbol: s). It has been defined since 1967 as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom", and is an SI base unit.
