3*10^8 m/s * 1*10^9 nm/m * 60 s/min * 60 min/hour * 24 hr/day * 365 days/yr * 1000 yrs/millenium = 9.4608*10^27 nm/ millenium. Pretty close eh? Oh wait, that's an error of about 300,000,000,000 km! D'oh, stupid leap-years!

 

What are you talking about?

"Pope Gregory XIII ordered that leap years would be omitted from all century years -- except those divisible by 400. So the first leap year in a century year occurred in 1600. The years 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years. But 2000 will be a leap year."

"Leap Century"

 

Leap years are years in which an extra day is added. Years divisible by four are leap years, except that years divisible by 100 aren't, except that years divisible by 400 are. Because it is the year that gets the extra day, calling something a "leap century" seems a little odd.

In any case, not all millennia are created equal: some have one more day than others. This is the speed of light that I calculated for a (weighted average) millennium:

9.46055512557696E+27

Google's calculation uses 1,000 365-day years. Therefore, it doesn't include leap years and it's WRONG!
