I wonder if there is a difference in speed in atmosphere vs space too

The only proof is, you kinda have to I guess calculate on visuals(but even then that's shaky). Otherwise, I don't think Canon has gave any sort of comparison or in-universe statement about em.

Unfortunately when it comes to blasters I'm seeing calculations of 15 m/s or about 33-34 mph.. this is probably bc it was better for eye appeal in the films idk but still, dodging one at close range is no joke.
