The answer is right there in your question.
"Light year" is the distance that light travels through space in one year.
In one year of time, light travels one light-year of distance through space.
In 46 years of time, light travels 46 light-years of distance through space.
It takes 364 years of time for light to travel 364 light-years of distance through space.
Now, to return to your question:
For light to travel 600 light-years of distance through space, that would take 600 years of time.
60,000 years.
Note: By that time, the rotation of the galaxy would have shifted the position of earth significantly (by about 11 degrees around circumference), and the star will probably be a little closer than 60,000 light years away. However, it can be said that if the star that APPEARS to be farthest away from us at this moment in time has an apparent distance of 60,000 light years, then the light that we are seeing now was emitted by that star 60,000 years ago.
That is like asking how many minutes are there in a meter. An earth year is a measure of time, as you know, but a light year is a measure of distance. And a light year is the distance light travels in an earth year.
Answer: Light that travels from stars travels at 'light speed' this is a fixed speed of 186,000 miles per second or 670,000,000 miles per hour. That equates to around 1.08 billion km/h. The distance that light travels in 1 year at light speed is called a light year (distance). So the word light year is actually a measure of distance and its equal to round 6 trillion miles or 10 trillion kilometers. 10 trillion (10,000,000,000,000) So if a star is 6 trillion miles away then the light will take one year to get to us. Another point about this is that if the light is 1 year old then when we see this light it actually came from the past, exactly 1 year in the past. This is how scientists can look millions and even billions of years into the past by looking at light thats reflected from stars Millions of light years away. The light from the Sun takes 8 minutes to reach Earth; from the nearest star (after the Sun), 4.3 years; from the farthest observable galaxies known (note: a galaxy contains many stars), billions of years.
Just like any other trip, the time required depends on the speed of your travel.
To cover 600 light years . . .
-- Walking at 4 miles per hour . . . 100,600,000,000 years
-- Bicycling at 15 mph . . . 26,820,000,000 years
-- Driving at 60 mph . . . 6,706,152,000 years
-- Flying at 750 mph . . . 536,492,160 years
-- Rocketing with a ramjet, a warp booster, an ion drive, and a case of Red Bull,
at 1 million mph . . . 402,000 years
-- At the speed of light . . . 600 years.
It truly depends upon the distance to the star from earth. Speed of light is around 3,00,000 km/second so respective to distance, time would very.
1 light year = 5.878715 x 1012 miles (rounded)
600 light years = 3.527229 x 1015 miles (rounded)
Slightly closer: 3,527,229,124,000,000 miles
Each light-year is about 9.5 x 1012 kilometers, so you can multiply the number of light-years by that number.
Multiply the number of light-years by the equivalent of 1 light-year (9.5 x 1012 kilometers).
600 light-years are equal to about 36,000,000,000,000 miles.

answer:The light of Antares reaches earth in 600 liht years.
Comets follow very long trajectories through the solar system. When they are close to the Sun and easily visible, the are generally under 15 light-minutes away. (The Sun, by comparison, 8.3 light-minutes away.) When a comet is out beyond the orbit of Neptune, it could easily be 50 or more light-HOURS away, and possibly more than 2 light-WEEKS. The outer boundary of the hypothetical "Oort Cloud" is between 4-10 light-MONTHS.
600 million years
1200 light years is the distance that light travels in 1200 years. The speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 kilometers per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.24 days per year. Just multiply all of those numbers together, and there's your answer.
600 light-years is 37,944,646.2 AU
It's about 600 or 700 light-years.
Betelgeuse is approximately 600 light years from Earth.
300000 years at or 600 years at the speed of light in our fastest spacecrafts which travels 157,078 mph.
it takes as much as 7000000 years to travel 600 light-years, so do the math 7000000 times 1million
It really depends on your speed. If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take 600 years. 600 light years equals 3,527,175,223,910,165 miles. So divide that by the speed you would be traveling to get the length of time it would take you.

3.6 quadrillion miles, or about 620 light years.
600 light years is the distance that light travels in 600 years. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 km per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.24 days in a year. Just multiply all those numbers together.
