How do light and speed both appear as result from distance divided by time?

Probably that refers to the SPEED of light; and perhaps the speed of something else. Or speeds in general. A speed can be defined as a distance divide by a time, i.e., how much something moves in a second, or in a minute, for example.

Define a centimeter and a millimeter?
A meter is the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds, so a centimeter is this distance divided by 100 and a millimeter is this distance divided by 1000.
Do moons comets and stars shine as a result of reflected light?
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
Why is it easiest to see mars when it is closer to earth?
Because it will appear larger, and it will thus (and also because its closer) appear brighter. Remember that the intensity of light perceived is proportional to the surface area of the emitter, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the emitter.
who can anser me The distance light travels in a year is called?
The distance light travels in a year is called light-year
What is a light-minute?
A light-minute is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one minute's time. The distance of a light-minute is 11,176,943.8 miles or 17,987,547.5 km

What is the size of the shadow and the distance of the object from the light source when a shadow is formed?
If you are using a point light source, the shadow's size is the object's size divided by the distance from the light source to the object multiplied by the distance from the light source to the shadow.
Do moons comets and stars shine as a result of reflected light?
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
What is the discovery of Thomas Young about light?
thomas young carried out his (double slit experiment) where he discussed the interference of light waves using monochromatic light . the 2 slits act as 2 coherent sources which emit light with same amplitude frequency . interference fringes appear due to superposition of light . this experiment is also used to determine the wavelength of monochromatic light. from the relation y=wavelength*distance between 2 slits /distance between the 2 slits and the screen where the fringes appear . where y is the distance between 2 successive bright or dark fringes.
Why does the sun appear yellow while the light it gives off is neutral white?
Sunlight is effectively "white light", and the yellow color is produced by the scattering of light by the atmosphere. This is easily seen near sunrise and sunset, where the additional atmospheric distance and angle make the Sun appear red.
Why does a full moon appear completely white?
Well because the moon is grey but the suns light shines on it from a distance so that's why its white
What is 4085 trillion divided by light years?
4085 is a pure number. A light year is a measure of distance whose numeric value depends on the units used. There is, therefore, no sensible answer to the question.
What is the distance traveled by light in 1 minute called?
In vacuum, the distance would be roughly 11.2 million miles (rounded). It's never used as a unit of measure, so it doesn't have any particular name, and would be called simply "one light-minute". The distance from Earth to the Sun is about 81/3 of them.
When was A City by the Light Divided created?
A City by the Light Divided was created in 2004.
Does colloids exhibits Tyndall effect?
The tyndall effect is a result of scattering from colloids that are around the wavelength of light, this is why milk does not appear blue.
How will a lemon appear if green light shines on it?
The lemon will appear black as there is no yellow light to be reflected.
Why do red nucleus appear red?
As with any material or substance, the apparent color is merely the result of light wave frequencies which are reflected by said material or substance.
