Light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second. By multiplying that amount by 60 it gives you the distance light travels in one minute. Multiply that figure by 60 and you get the distance for one hour. Then multiply by 24 to get the distance traveled in one day. Multiply that by 365 for one year then by 1000 to see how far light can travel in 1000 years. So, light traveling at approximately 186,000 miles per second, in 1000 years can travel a staggering...5,865,696,000,000,000 miles. That is nearly 6 quadrillion miles!
There is also a unit of distance designed especially for light (but can also be used for other things) called a 'light year'. A light year is how far light can travel in one year. Therefore in 1000 years, light can travel 1000 light years.

How far across the milky way?

If the tectonic plates move very slowly at 2 cm each year how far will they move in 1000 years?
If tectonic plates move at a rate of 2 cm per year, in 1000 years they would have moved a distance of 2000 cm, which is equivalent to 20 meters.

When using a telescope to observe stars and some say they are observing the past instead of the present What does this mean?
When we observe stars through a telescope, we are seeing light that has traveled vast distances to reach us. Since light takes time to travel these distances, we are essentially seeing the star as it was in the past. For example, if a star is located 1000 light-years away, we are observing light that left the star 1000 years ago, so we are seeing the star as it was 1000 years ago.
How far does light travel a 1000 year?
