What else can I help you with?
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.
How long does it take for the light generated by the star Betelgeuse to reach Earth?
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
How long does the sun take to make light?
It takes right around eight minutes for sunlight to reach earth.
Do constellations have a fixed shape?
because stars cannot move fast enough for people to be able to tell that they moved from Earth, and also because it takes thousands of years for the light of stars to reach Earth. If the big bang happened at one particular moment, it would take eight minutes for the first light to reach earth (the sun is the closest star to the earth, and it is eight light minutes away)
IF the crab nebula is 6300 light years from earth how long did take the light from the supernova to reach earth?
6,300 years
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 does it takes light from to reach earth?
About 37 years.
The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4.3 light-years away If light leaves this star in 2020 when will it reach Earth?
If light leaves Proxima Centauri in 2020, it will take 4.3 years to reach Earth. Therefore, the light will arrive on Earth in the year 2024.
Could you tell me about the stars?
our sun is much closer to us than the stars. Light from the sun takes about eight minutes to reach Earth, but the light fromthe next nearest star takes a sevral years to reach us
How many years would it take for the Northern Star light to reach Earth?
Polaris (North Star) is about 433 light years from us, so that is how long light will take to reach us.
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.
How far in light years is the moon from the earth?
The average distance to the Moon is 384,399 kilometres = 4.06318742 × 10-8 light years (Note the minus) The moon is only a tiny fraction of one light year from earth. It takes light from the sun eight minutes to reach earth, and the moon is much closer to earth than the sun. Measuring such a small distance in light years is possible but impractical. ======================================= The moon is roughly 1.27 light seconds from the earth. (rounded) 1.27 light seconds is the same as 0.0000000406 light year. (rounded)
