How far can infrared light reach?
Infrared light can travel through a vacuum and is limited by the strength of the source and the sensitivity of the detector. In space, infrared light from distant stars and galaxies can travel vast distances, enabling astronomers to view objects billions of light years away. On Earth, atmospheric absorption limits how far infrared light can travel.
How far are bayer stars from earth?
it is light years away
What are light years used for?
To calculate how far away stars are from Earth.
How far does light travel to get to earth?
It takes 8 minutes from the Sun
How far does light travel before it reaches the earth?
That depends on where it started.
What is a light year and why do scientist use it?

How far does light travel to earth?
If you mean the light coming from the sun, it takes approx 8 or 8.5 minutes to reach earth.
Why does the light that you see from the stars look very faint?
The light from stars appears faint because it has to travel through vast distances of space to reach us, during which it gets dimmed and scattered by dust and gas in the universe. Additionally, stars emit light in all directions, so only a small fraction of that light actually reaches Earth.
How far in Light years can a Pulsar travel?
As far as light can travel
How far is canopus from earth in light years?
Canopus, one of the brightest stars in the night sky, is approximately 310 light-years away from Earth.
When stars fall do they become rocks?
No. Stars cannot fall to Earth They are far beyond the influence of Earth's gravity and far larger and more massive than Earth. The stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own but unimaginably far away. The remains of dead stars are composed of extremely dense forms of matter not found on Earth. The "falling stars" are not actually stars; they are meteors, small pieces of rock and metal that burn up as they travel through Earth's upper atmosphere at extreme speeds.
How far is the constellation lynx from earth?
Constellations don't have a particular distance from Earth. This is because the stars only APPEAR to be a group in the sky. In fact they are all at different distances usually.
