Light travels at 186.282.4 miles per second. 186,282.4 multiplied by 60 give you the the distance light travels in a minute, 11,176,944 miles per minute. 11,176,944 multiplied by 60 gives you the distance light travels in an hour, 670,616,640. Light travels a total distance of 670,616,640 miles in one hour.

Light travels at a whopping 186,000 miles per second or about 669,600,000 miles per hour, to answer your question.

This is very fast, but it still takes the light from the sun eight minutes to reach us, and there is a big difference.

Light from the next nearest star would take at least 4 hours to get here.

How fast does a space shuttle travel around earth in miles per hour?

How long would it take to go one light year?

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.
