How is the student minute light years similar to the light year?
The student minute light yearas is similar to the light year because they are both light years and measure stuff in space....sorry i know this really doesn't help, but I answered the question to the best of my ability! Kaitlyn
How long does it take for light to reach us from the sun and stars?
The following are some benchmark light times: Sun - ~8 minutes Pluto - ~249 minutes (about 4 hours 9 minutes) Oort Cloud - 1 light year Proxima Centauri (closest star) - 4.2 light years Pleiades (Seven Sisters) - 440 light years Orion Nebula - 1.5 thousand (1,500) light years Ring Nebula - 2 thousand (2,000) light years Eta Carinae - 8,000 light years Milky Way Centre - 25,000 light years LMC - 160,000 light years Andromeda - 2,500,000 light years Whirlpool Galaxy - 37,000,000 light years The Mice - 300 million light years The Hubble Deep Field - 13 billion light years Edge of Universe - At least 13.4 billion light years
How old will you be when you get to the sun in light years?
I will not be able to reach the sun in terms of light years as it is within our own solar system. However, light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth so you could say it would take about 8 minutes in terms of light years to "reach" the sun.
Why do scientists use light minutes and light hours instead of light years to measure distances with your solar systeam?
Objects in the solar system are much smaller than a light year. Light takes only minutes or hours to pass from one planet to another. To measure interplanetary distances in light years would be like measuring the sizes of insects in miles. Usually, though, rather than light hours and light minutes, distances in the solar system are measured in Astronomical Units (AU), which is average distance between Earth and the sun, about eight light minutes.
What is the distance in light years of the sun to earth?
Less than 1 light year. Lots less. It's not a light year away, it's 8.333 light minutes away . Light travels about 5.9 trillion miles in a year, and the sun is only 93 million miles away. The speed of light is 186,000 miles/second, so light from the sun reaches the earth in 500 seconds, or 8 minutes and 20 seconds. So, the sun is about 0.0000158 light years from the earth.

What is the distance between sun and earth in light years?
The Earth is 8.3 light-MINUTES(0.0000152207001522070015220700152207 light years) from the Sun.
How many light years away is your sun?
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.
How long is 54 minutes light speed in years or 600 million miles in years?
Light travels 603,554,966 miles in 54 minutes.
How far is the sun from proxima centauri in light minutes?
Proxima Centauri is 4.243 light years away, or 2,231,648 light minutes.
8.31 light minutes equals how many years?
This cannot be properly answered because light-minutes is a measure of distance not time.On that note, 8.31 light-minutes is a distance of 92,880,403.2 miles. This happens to be the approximate average distance from the earth to the sun.
Why do scientists use light minutes and light hours instead of light years?
There are so many zeros in the value of light years when talking about a few light minutes. 1 light minute is 0.000001901 light years People do not like to talk about very small numbers and few know by heart that 1 year = 525948.766 minutes or that 1 year = 8765.81277 hours
How many light years from earth is mars?
Well traveling at the speed of light would take 4 minutes, so if you want to convert that to years...have fun :)
How many light years from the earth is the sun in December?
About 8 light-minutes.
How long in light years is it to Jupiter?
The distance to Jupiter is better measured in light minutes. Depending on the relative positions in orbit the distance is anywhere between 30 and 70 light minutes. 0.000057 to 0.00013 light years
Which planet has shorter time in light years from earth Jupiter or venus?
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
How many Au is 1000 light years?
They really are not comparable. Light travels 186,000 miles per second, and one AU is about 8.3 light-MINUTES. You can probably do the math, from minutes to hours to days to years as well as I can. Or, you could google "1000 light years in AU" and get the answer
