it takes as much as 7000000 years to travel 600 light-years, so do the math 7000000 times 1million
The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away. How long it would take to get their depends on how fast you go, but at the speed of light it would take 2.5 millions years.
At the speed of light, it takes millions of years. For example, the Andromeda galaxy, which is the closest galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, is about 2.5 million light years away, that is, traveling at light speed it would take 2.5 million years to get there.
Because of the speed of light. A light year is a term of measurement of distance, not time - i.e. the distance that light can travel in one year. Light travels at 299,792,458 metres per second - almost 3 million kilometres a second - therefore in one year it would travel a collosal distance - near 94 million million kilometres. When astronomers say a planet is 400,000 light years away, what we see of this planet happened 400,000 years ago since the light is only reaching us now. It would be another 400,000 years before we see that planet as it is today.
The light from our Sun will take about 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy.
2-3 million years, if you find a way to travel at the speed of light.
21 million light years is a distance of 1.23448496 × 10^20 miles. In other words, it would take a beam of light 21 million years to travel that distance.
The universe is about 90 billion light years across. An eon is about 550 million years. Flying at the speed of light for 550 million years you would travel 550 million light years, less than 1% of the distance across the known universe. So, probably not. It would make no difference how long you travel at light speed. If you travel for a billion trillion eons, you would still not pass through the boundries of the universe. For one thing, you would have a serious problem timing your journey, since for you a trip of any length would seem instantaneous.
It take the light to travel for 2 million years Actually about 100 years, maybe less.
885 million miles = 0.000150548614 light years.
Light takes time to travel, so light reaching us from a million light years away has taken that long to travel to us. We see what it looked like when the light left.
The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away. How long it would take to get their depends on how fast you go, but at the speed of light it would take 2.5 millions years.
At the speed of light, it takes millions of years. For example, the Andromeda galaxy, which is the closest galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, is about 2.5 million light years away, that is, traveling at light speed it would take 2.5 million years to get there.
20 million years, if you travel at the speed of light. For other speeds, use the formula: distance = speed x time. Solving for time, time = distance / speed.
I assume you mean M31, the Andromeda Galaxy. It is approximately 2.5 million light-years from us; that means that it takes light 2.5 million years to travel from there to here (or from here to there).
It would take you just over 5 years 9 months to travel 56,000,000,000,000 kilometers at the Speed of light, 299,792,458 meters per second.
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.
