Light cannot travel around the Earth, since light travels at a straight line and the Earth is round.
The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.

Wiki User
∙ 6y agoIt travels at a little less than 299,700 kilometres per second. However, near earth it travels in a straight line so it does not travel around the world.

What do you need to travel at the speed of light?
There is no way to travel at the speed of light.
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?
1 second
What speed does earth travel when it completes one revolution around the sun?
30km/hr
How long does light take to travel from the Earth to the Moon if the distance between them is 384000 km?
The speed of light is 300,000 km/second. If you divide the distance by this speed of light, you get the time in seconds: 1.28.
Has light originating outside of earth been tested for speed?
Light from stellar sources will travel at the same speed as light generated on earth.
Can Humans Travel at speed of light with no harm on earth?
No.
How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?
It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.
What speed dose earth travel around the sun?
=107,300 km/h well were not sure=
If nothing can surpass the speed of light in the Universe how is it possible that light on Earth can travel at the speed of light if Earth itself is moving at millions of km per second?
I say millions because of the estimations I found for the speed of Earth around the sun, the speed of the solar system through the Milky way and the speed of the milky way through the universe.
What is the speed of light can anything else travel closer to the speed of light?
What is the speed of light? About 300,000,000 meters per second - enough to travel all around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Can anything travel nearly as fast? - Yes, in particle accelerators particles are regularly accelerated to over 99% of the speed of light. According to current scientific understanding: (a) it is not possible to transfer matter, energy, or information faster than the speed of light. (b) An object that regularly travels at a slower speed can't be made to travel at the speed of light - it can only approach it. (A photon, that is, a speed of light, can only travel at the speed of light.)
What do you need to travel at the speed of light?

Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
What is the amount of time it takes light to travel around the Earth seven and a half times?
speed of light = 299792458 m/s time it takes light to travel around the world = 40075160/299792458 = 0.134 seconds time it takes light to travel around the world 7+1/2 times = 1.005 seconds
Can a person travel at a speed of light?
No. Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light.
What was the initial time period from sun to earth?
Light energy in the form of photons, which travel at the speed of Light [298,000 km/sec] take eight minutes to travel from Sol to Earth. Is this the Answer that you are looking for?
At what speed does a space station travel around the earth?
It's average speed is 27,743.8 km/h.
