How long would it take to travel one lightyear at 25000mph?

One lightyear is about 6 trillion miles, so, it would take about 27000 years to travel one lightyear at 25000 MPH. 25,000 mph is about 7 miles a second. Light travels at about 186,000 miles a second. That's 26,600 times the speed your travelling. So if it takes light one year it is going to take your vehicle 26,600 years All the numbers are rounded to whole numbers.
