Why convert the velocity of light to centimeter/minute?

This conversion helps express a fundamental constant in units suitable for low-speed comparisons and engineering contexts where slow speeds are more typical.

Is the speed of light variable in this conversion?

No, the velocity of light in vacuum is a defined physical constant and does not change.

Can this conversion be used for practical measurements in industry?

It is generally intended for comparative or calibration use rather than direct practical measurements due to the large converted values.
