The Velocity of a Bullet Vs. the Cosmos
The champion of speed, light darts through space at a breathtaking 300,000 kilometers per second, making everything else seem sluggish by comparison. Though not nearly as swift, a bullet’s velocity is still impressive, clocking in at 0.805 kilometers per second, doubling the pace of sound, and showcasing significant quickness in its own realm.

When released into the vast expanse of space, a bullet’s rapid flight becomes relatively insignificant. However, the cosmos has a trick up its sleeve: It expands at the astonishing rate of 73 kilometers per second. This rapid expansion dwarfs the speed of a bullet, ensuring that it could never catch up or hit a target in the ever-stretching universe.
