Working with very, very round numbers . . .

-- The Earth's average distance from the sun is 1 AU.

-- Saturn's average distance from the sun is 9 AU.

-- The closest together that Earth and Saturn can ever be is 8 AU = 66.5 minutes at light speed.

-- The farthest apart that Earth and Saturn can ever be is 10 AU = 83.2 minutes at light speed.

How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?

It would take approximately 65 years to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran, which is about 65 light-years away. However, currently, we do not have the technology to travel at the speed of light.


How long does it take a radio wave to travel to Saturn from earth?

Using the formula speed = distance/time and that Saturn from earth is 821,190,000 miles and the speed of light 186,000miles per second. Then rearrange the formula for time we find the answer is 4415 seconds or 73.58 minutes or 1.226 hours


Can Humans Travel at speed of light with no harm on earth?

No.


Has light originating outside of earth been tested for speed?

Light from stellar sources will travel at the same speed as light generated on earth.


For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?

It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.


How long does it take from earth to Saturn in hours?

The time it takes to travel from Earth to Saturn depends on the spacecraft and its speed. For example, the Cassini space probe took about 6.7 years to travel from Earth to Saturn. At its fastest speed, a spacecraft could potentially make the journey in about 2-3 years.


How fast do Saturn's rings travel?

They travel through space at the same speed that Saturn travels.


What is the equation for the travel time to the nearest star at the speed of light?

The formula to calculate travel time at the speed of light is distance divided by the speed of light. The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.24 light-years away. Therefore, the travel time to Proxima Centauri at the speed of light would be 4.24 years.


How does light travel from the sun to the earth?

Light from the sun travels to Earth through the vacuum of space as electromagnetic radiation. This radiation consists of photons, which are particles of light that travel in straight lines at the speed of light. The light reaches Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.


What is the speed of light can anything else travel closer to the speed of light?

What is the speed of light? About 300,000,000 meters per second - enough to travel all around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Can anything travel nearly as fast? - Yes, in particle accelerators particles are regularly accelerated to over 99% of the speed of light. According to current scientific understanding: (a) it is not possible to transfer matter, energy, or information faster than the speed of light. (b) An object that regularly travels at a slower speed can't be made to travel at the speed of light - it can only approach it. (A photon, that is, a speed of light, can only travel at the speed of light.)


Can a person travel at a speed of light?

No. Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light.


How many hours does it take to travel to Saturn from Earth?

At the speed of light it would take take just over an hour. By conventional rocket: the Cassini probe took seven years to reach Saturn. Pioneer 11 took 6 years
