How much time does it take for light to travel from London to Moscow?

Answer 1

5 hours

In looking at the technical answer to the question, light itself travels at the "speed of light", this speed is approximately 186,282 miles per second. As the crow flies the distancebetween Moscow and London is 1559 miles (2508 km). So, light itself would take a fraction of a second to travel from London to Moscow.

However, in the case that you are looking for answers as to sunlight and time zones, here is some additional information. Russia is the largest country in the world, covering more than a ninth of the Earth's land area with 17,075,400 sq km (6,592,800 sq miles). It extends across the whole of northern Asia and 40% of Europe, spanning 9 time zones (since 28 March 2010 when 2 Time Zones were retired from use) All Russian cities Time Zones are specified relative to Moscow Time: The Moscow Standard Time Zone is now (summertime) 4 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. London Time is the same as Greenwich Mean Time less than half of the year. During Summer Time (Daylight Saving Time), London Time is GMT+1, also known as British Summer Time (BST).
