How long would a message take if you are 6 light-years away from earth in minutes?

Light-year is the distance that light travels in a year. Therefore, it will take light 6 years to travel 6 light-years. So far, it has not been possible to send messages faster than the speed of light, and it will probably never be possible (read about the Theory of Relativity to get an idea about the reasons for this).

How long would it take for light to travel in nine years?
One light year is around 10 trillion km or 6 trillion miles. Nine lightyears would be 90 trillion km or 54 trillion miles. You would generally just say nine lightyears though.
Is the sun 8 light min from earth?
8.3 light minutes equates to about 92,768,633.7 miles.
About how many minutes would it take a signal to reach Earth from Mars?
It varies, depending on the positions of Earth and Mars. It can be anywhere between 3 and 22 minutes. When this answer was written (6/27/2009), Mars was approximately 177 million miles from Earth which works out to about 15.84 light-minutes.
If the sun were to disappear right now you would not know about it for 8 minutes because it takes 8 minutes?
For light to travel from the sun to earth.
How fast does light travel to Jupiter?
At light speed it would take 20 to 40 minutes going from earth, and 50 minutes going from the sun.
How many lightyears are you away from Jupiter?
Well the Moon is 1 light second away from earth ( meaning if you were moving at the speed of light you would reach and pass the moon in 1 second ) and the Sun is about 8 light minutes away from us. Jupiter is maybe 4 light minutes?
How many light years away from earth is mercury?
Mercury Is 0.000131 lightyears away from earth
How long would it take to get to sedna?
2 lightyears
If a star suddenly became dark how much longer would you be able to see its light?
It depends on the distance the star is from Earth. If it is 250 Million Lightyears away, then you'll be able to see it's light for 250 Million years. If the sun went out, you'd see light for 8 minutes.
Where in the galaxy would the black whole be found?
Xriun 1000billion lightyears away
How the Earth would be affected if a very luminous star like R136a1 existed within 5-10 lightyears radius?
Not very much, 5 lightyears (even 2 lightyears) is quite a large distance away. There would be some minor differences in temperature and light, but nothing to get on your high horses about. The two biggest differences, however, would be the fact that constellations would be different, and it might have a cultural impact as well as modify our understanding of astronomy. A possible but rare scenario is that its gravity may cause more meteors than we have now (or other objects) to go towards the Earth. One last thought: I'm not entirely sure about this, but I'm willing to bet it could have affected the development of our solar system.

How old is the earth in minutes?
The earth has been around for a loooong time , and i were to right down the number of minutes the earth have been around, i would need A LOT OF paper.
How long would it take to reach 20 lightyears away?
It would all depend on the speed travelling, as time = distance/speed.
How long would it take earth to find out if the sun exploded?
8 minutes
What would earth be like if the moon were closer to the earth?
If the moon were closer to earth there would be a stronger gravity pull on earth. It could be so strong that it would take us more then 10 minutes to take 6 steps!
How many MB on a text message is one minutes?
It isn't clear how you would measure a text message in minutes. Normally, text messages have a length in characters - each character is probably 1 or 2 bytes. A byte, of course, is one millionth of a MB.
