Does light travels slowest through space?
As the medium through which light propagates in space is closes to a vacuum, light propagates very well in space. However, it travels at the same speed as it would on earth, as light travels at 299,792,458m/s in a vacuum, regardless of where that vacuum is located. the light travels in same speed whether it travels in space or earth.
Why is sunlight more dangerous in space than on earth?
Sunlight is more dangerous in outer space than on Earth because there is no matter in space, unlike on Earth, so sunlight just passes through the emptiness of space and shines in all directions. When light passes through matter, it takes longer for the light to pass through it to reach something. In space, it only takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth's surface. The speed of light also depends on what type of matter the light is going through.the sun is more hotter in space than the earth

What are waves that travel through space at the speed of light called?
All electromagnetic waves travel through space at the "speed of light". Light is one form of electromagnetic waves.
What form of energy can travel through space at the speed of light?
(a) Electromagnetic waves; that includes light. (b) Gravity waves.
How does light travel from the sun to the earth?
Light from the sun travels to Earth through the vacuum of space as electromagnetic radiation. This radiation consists of photons, which are particles of light that travel in straight lines at the speed of light. The light reaches Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
How fast would a burst of light reach the earth?
Light travels through space at 299,792,458 meters per second ... cleverly labeled the "speed of light" ... regardless of where it originates or what direction it takes.
What vibrates and moves through space at the speed of light to make an electromagnetic wave?
light
If nothing can surpass the speed of light in the Universe how is it possible that light on Earth can travel at the speed of light if Earth itself is moving at millions of km per second?
I say millions because of the estimations I found for the speed of Earth around the sun, the speed of the solar system through the Milky way and the speed of the milky way through the universe.
Would light travel faster through space or through a window?
Light travels faster through space than through a window. In a vacuum, such as space, light travels at its maximum speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. When light passes through a window, it encounters a material medium (glass) which slows it down due to refraction, resulting in a reduced speed.
Light travels through space as electromagnetic what?
Light travels through space as electromagnetic radiation. This radiation consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light.
What is the speed of light on earth through air?
299,792,458 meters/second
