The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant and is $300000000 m/s$ $300 000 000 " m/s"$ , or $3.0 \cdot 10^{8} m/s$ $3.0*10^8" m/s"$ .

The speed of light decreases in a given medium.

Explanation:

The speed of light in a vacuum is constant because there are no atoms to absorb the electromagnetic radiation.

The speed of light decreases in a given medium such as air. For an example, the speed of light in air at sea level is $299, 792, 458 m/s$ $299,792,458" m/s"$ .
