5.88 Trillion miles 5.88 Trillion miles
Light can travel about 5.88 trillion miles in one lightyear.
A lightyear is the distance that light can travel in one year.
Because the definition of a lightyear is: how long light can travel in a year. Hope this helped;)
It means how far light travels in a year.
Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second. In 6 months, light can travel a distance of about 5.88 trillion miles, which is approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers.
As of now, humans can't travel through time or cover distances in lightyears. The concept of time travel and traveling vast distances in space at the speed of light is currently only theoretical and not achievable with our current technology.
A light-year is a measure of distance, just like a foot, a meter or a mile. A measure of distance is not considered to travel. If the question is how far light travels in one second, the answer is 299,792.458 kilometers, or about 186,286 miles. The speeds noted refer to light moving in a vacuum.
Betelgeuse is about 640 light-years away from Earth.
As far as light can travel
Roughly 5,868,700,000,000 miles. (rounded)
How far does light travel in one hour
Light can travel about 6 trillion miles in a year, so that distance is called a light-year.
