How long would it take gamma rays from an exploding star to reach earth?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they travel at the speed of light. If a star is one light year away, it will reach Earth in one year.
Can anything on Earth replicate the energy of an exploding star?
Not yet. But soon.
How long would it take for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth in Earth years?
It would take 100 Earth years for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth.
How long would it take for a signal to travel from Earth to a star located 100 light years away?
It would take 100 years for a signal to travel from Earth to a star located 100 light years away.
What is Exploding star theory?
Some scientists think that a huge star, much brighter than our sun, exploded near the earth. The star was called a super nova. Dangerous radiation, like x-rays, and intense light caused by the explosion might have killed the dinosaurs. These are pictures of exploding stars.
How long does it take for a ray of light to travel from the nearest star to the earth and what is this star called?
Our Sun is at a distance of 8 light-minutes. The next star outside our Solar System is Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.2 light-years.
How long does it take light to travel to the nearest star to us?
The nearest star to us is the SUN. It takes light about 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to Eart. #The next nearest star is Alpha Centurii. Light takes about 4.5 years to travel from this star to Earth.
How long does it take for a ray of light to travel from the nearest star to the earth?
8.5 mins
How far in kilometers will a star travel if it takes 37 light years to reach earth?
The star won't normally "travel the 37 light-years to Earth". 37 light-years would most likely be the distance from the star to Earth; it takes light from the star 37 years to reach us. Please note that a light-year is a unit of distance; it is NOT a unit of time. To convert from light-years to kilometers, multiply the number of light-years by 9.5 x 1012.
What do you understand by the statement a star is eight light years away from the earth?
The light from a star eight light years away will take eight years to reach Earth.
If you see a star and you went in a spaceship flew out to see the star closer the star is gone if you go back down to earth will the star be there?
It depends how fast you are travelling, and also how long ago the star died; assuming the star JUST died, if you travel there and back at twice the speed of light, you will see it just as it disappears, travel any slower and it will be gone when you get back.However if the star died, say, 10 light years ago, and the distance between earth and the star is 20 light years, you will have to travel at 4 times the speed of light to get back in time to see it disappear.
What is the distance from the pollux star to the planet earth?
Pollux is about 34 light years from the Earth, or about 2 x 1014 miles.
