Same as speed of light only less bright (brite)!
Or -186,000 ft/sec whichever you like.
Q. Which is more important, the Sun or the Moon?
A. If you said Sun you were wrong. The Moon is more important 'cuz it shines
at night when it is dark, whereas the Sun shines in the daytime when it is
light anyway.
