A unit of time in an absolute system of units devised by Max Planck, about 5.391 24 × 10−44 second. Symbol, tP. Algebraically, it is

where c = the speed of light, G = Newtonian gravitational constant, and ħ = the reduced Planck's constant.
From the equations, you can see that a velocity of 1 Planck length per Planck time is the speed of light.
