Best Answer

At a typical 18.6 miles per second the spacecraft travels at 1/10,000 of the speed of light, therefore it would take 43,000 years.

How long would take to travel 490 light years with current technology?

It wouldn't be possible using our current technology; with our current technology, it takes 10 years to get outside our own solar system. With technology that we could reasonably develop within the next 50 years, it should be possible to create a spacecraft that could travel 490 light years in ONLY 5,000 years or so. We know the basic principles for an Orion Nuclear Pulse Rocket, but it would be phenomenally expensive and impractical to build one to go 490 light years. The first such spacecraft will travel to much nearer stars.


How many years would it take a spacecraft in travelling at the speed of light to cross your galaxy?

a long time


As we can see planets galaxies light years in the past with telescopes couldn't we send spacecraft far enough into space to record to see Earth light years in the past to settle creation argument?

That would involve building spacecraft to exceed the speed of light, which at the moment is impossible.


If you were moving at the speed of light how long would it take to get to proxima centauri from the sun?

About 4 light years.==========================Sorry. "Light year" is an answer to "how far", not "how long".Alpha Centauri is about 4 light years away from our solar system and everything in it,which means that it takes light, radio, and TV from us about 4 years to get there.


How long does it take light to travel a distance of 2700 light years?

Well, it takes 2,700 years for light to travel that far. Anything travelling at half light-speed would take 5,400 years. At 1/4 light-speed, it would take 10,800 years.

How long in years would take to travel 57 trillion km in light years?

Light years is not a time, it is a distance. It takes light about 6.025 years to travel 57 trillion km. In other words, 57 trillion km = 6.025 light years.


How long would it take to travel 4 000 light years?

Like any distance, it depends on how fast you are going. At the speed of light it would take 4,000 years to travel that distance.


How long would it take to travel 600 million light years?

it takes as much as 7000000 years to travel 600 light-years, so do the math 7000000 times 1million
