What, walking, swimming? a long time. By definition one light year is how far LIGT travels in one year. That's 5.8 trillion miles, or 5,800,000,000,000!

How do you think it would be possible to travel at the speed of light?

The only way to travel at the speed of light is to not have any mass.


How long does it take for light years to travel around the earth once?

One light-year is the distance light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles. Light doesn't orbit the Earth, but if you're asking how long it takes light to travel around the Earth's circumference once, at the speed of light (about 186,282 miles per second), it would take only about 0.13 seconds.


Can you bend light?

Yes, but only with the help of mirrors otherwise light would be bknown to travel in wavy lines!


How long would it take for speed of light to travel a quintillion miles?

The speed of light doesn't travel at all. It just lays there, typicallyon a printed page in a book.If an object is traveling at the speed of light, however, then it's acompletely different story. Such an object would cover 1 quintillionmiles in only 170,108 years (rounded).


How do you travel in the speed of light?

You don't. The only objects that can travel at the speed of light are those that ONLY travel at that speed, like photons or gravitons.


How fast does light travel in five minutes?

Light travels at a constant velocity, no matter what time it is given to travel. Light would travel at exactly 299,792,458 ms-1 in five minutes, but only in a vacuum.


What makes light travel?

It only travels in the speed of light


How many seconds does a ray of light travel in a year?

There are only 31,536,000 seconds in a year. So, light can only travel for 31,536,000 in a year.


Why traveling at the speed of light would we disperse?

No such thing would happen. Matter cannot reach the speed of light, only massless things can (and they cannot travel at any other speed than the speed of light).


Would bending light reduce its speed?

No. It would take it longer to get from here to there, but only because it would have to travel a longer distance, not because its speed would change.


Do light travel only in a straight line?

yes


Can gases travel through a vacuum?

No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.
