about 16 minutes and 40 seconds
It takes about 997.186 seconds for light to travel across the diameter of Earth's orbit.
That would be roughly 16minutes 40seconds .
It can travel across the vacuum of space.
Light takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth. Since the distance across Earth's orbit is roughly double the distance from the Sun to Earth, it would take light around 17 minutes to travel across the diameter of Earth's orbit.
light can travel around earth about seven times
8 minutes or 500 seconds(approx.)
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.
Light could travel seven and a half times around the world in one second.
Light's contribution to Science was when the scientists realised how fast light can travel around the world.
It takes light approximately 8.3 minutes to travel across the diameter of Earth's orbit around the sun, which is about 186 million miles. This value is known as the astronomical unit (AU) and is used as a standard unit of measurement in astronomy.
Approx 100000 to 180000 years.
No. An A.U. is the average radius of the Earths orbit around the Sun. (which can be measured in light years or light minutes (about 8) if you want).
