How much time is required for light to travel across the diameter of the orbit?
At the speed of light of 3.00 x 108 m s-1, it would take light 4.64 seconds to transit the diameter of the Sun, which is 1.932 x 109 m.
Why does it take Venus quicker than earth to orbit the sun?
Because Venus has less distance to travel, and it has a faster orbital speed than the Earth.
What is the fastest man has been able to travel compared to the speed of light?
the fastest man has traveled would be about 8000 m/s(the speed of a space shuttle in orbit) the speed of light is roughly 300000000 m/s. which is roughly 1/37500 the speed of light or .00002666667% the speed of light
What do you need to travel at the speed of light?
There is no way to travel at the speed of light.
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
Has light originating outside of earth been tested for speed?
Light from stellar sources will travel at the same speed as light generated on earth.
Can Humans Travel at speed of light with no harm on earth?
No.
How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?
It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.
Does the earth revolve around the sun at the speed of light?
No material object ever moves at the speed of light. The Earth's speed in its solar orbit ... relative to a foolish astronomer sitting on the sun ... is about 29.78 kilometers per second. That's about 0.0001 of the speed of light.
Assume that the moon travel at constant speed in a circular orbit around the earth is the moon's velocity is constant?
yes
What is the current average GPS speed?
GPS signals are just radio waves, so they travel at or very near the speed of light, or 186,000 miles every second. The GPS satellites are in orbit at 11,000 miles above Earth, so they take very near to no time to travel from the satellite to the GPS receiver on Earth.
Which travel's fastest light or gravity?
They both travel at the same speed. Thus if somehow one could instantly remove the Sun from the centre of our solar system, the Earth would continue to orbit the missing Sun normally for 8 minutes afterwards, the time it would take the last light from the Sun to reach the Earth. At this point the Earth would cease to move in a circular orbit and would fly off into space in a straight line.
How much time is required for light to travel across the diameter of the orbit?
At the speed of light of 3.00 x 108 m s-1, it would take light 4.64 seconds to transit the diameter of the Sun, which is 1.932 x 109 m.
Why does it take Venus quicker than earth to orbit the sun?
Because Venus has less distance to travel, and it has a faster orbital speed than the Earth.
What is the speed of a spacecraft?
To orbit the Earth, a speed of 7.9 kilometers/second is required. To escape Earth's gravity, an initial speed of 11.2 kilometers/second is required. To travel to distant planets, the initial speed must be still higher.
