300000 km/second
Yes, it is - in vacuum.
It would take light one year to travel one light year. (The answer comes from the definition of a light year.) We cannot go that fast; only light can. Relativity confuses matters slightly. If you travel one light year at the speed of light, an outside observer would say it took you one year. You yourself would say the trip was instantaneous. Since, as noted above, you can't possibly go that fast, if we say that you were merely very very close to the speed of light, you'd say it took a much shorter time than one year; the exact length would depend on exactly how fast you were going. (Even more confusing: by your measurements), you wouldn't have gone a light year at all, but some shorter distance. Again, exactly how short depends on how fast you were going.)
One light year is 65,000 AU's. One AU is the distance between Earth and the Sun, or 93 million miles. Try 65,000 times 93,000,000!!!!!
It can travel about 5.86 trillion miles in one year. This is a light year.
if you're asking "how long in years to travel 1 light year" you would have to know how fast you are traveling. a light year is a measure of distance that's equal to approximately six trillion miles...
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles.
Light travels a distance of one light year in one year.
One one year's time, light can travel 9.4605284 × 1012 kilometers.
17,987,547,480 meters
Depends on your speed. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. If you traveled slower it would take longer.Depends on the speed you are going.At the speed of light one year.See related question for details of a light yearJust like any other distance, it depends on the speed of travel.-- At the speed of light, radio, x-rays, etc., it takes 1 year.-- At 1 million miles per hour, it takes about 671 years.-- At 60 miles per hour, it takes about 11.2 million years.A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year in a vacuum. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. So, light will travel about 5.8 trillion miles in one year. Now, to answer the question. The answer depends on how fast you are traveling. If you were in a space ship travelling 99.9999% the speed of light, it would take you about a year to travel a light year. Now, there is currently no human-made space craft, that we know of, that can travel that fast. The space shuttle travels at about 17,500 miles per hour. In order for the space shuttle to travel one light year, it would take about 38,262 years.
One year
The light-year is the distance travelled by light in one year. Since the speed of light seems to be the speed limit in the Universe, it gives you an idea how long light takes, to travel from one place to another. If somebody says that Toliman is at a distance of 4.3 light-years, it means that light will take 4.3 years to travel from here to there, or from there to here. It also means that it isn't possible to reach Toliman in less than 4.3 years, however fast you go.
