The Earths diameter is about 12756.2 km.
This equates to 1.3483602 × 10-9 light years
or better still, 0.04 light seconds!!

How much time is required for light to travel across the diameter of the orbit?
At the speed of light of 3.00 x 108 m s-1, it would take light 4.64 seconds to transit the diameter of the Sun, which is 1.932 x 109 m.
How many light years across is Galaxy M32?
It's a dwarf galaxy; the diameter is about 6500 light-years (according to information in the Wikipedia article).
Do visible light and x-rays travel through different medians?
Visible light and x-rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, and do not require a medium to travel through.
Are there different dimensions in space and can you travel at the speed of light?
Yes, it is theorized that there are higher dimensions then the four we are familiar with. No, you cannot travel at the speed of light, no physical object that has mass can. However, that being said, you can, theoretically travel infinitely close to the speed of light which would, in turn, require an infinite amount of energy.
What do you need to travel at the speed of light?
There is no way to travel at the speed of light.
How long does it takes light traval across the diameter of earths orbit?
It takes about 997.186 seconds for light to travel across the diameter of Earth's orbit.
How long does it take light to travel across the diameter of the Milky Way?
Approx 100000 to 180000 years.
How much time does it take for light to travel across the diameter of the earths orbit?
That would be roughly 16minutes 40seconds .
How much time is required for light to travel across the diameter of the orbit?
At the speed of light of 3.00 x 108 m s-1, it would take light 4.64 seconds to transit the diameter of the Sun, which is 1.932 x 109 m.
What can infrared light travel across?
It can travel across the vacuum of space.
Can light travel in a vacuum?
Yes. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to travel through.Mechanical waves (such as sound) do require a medium to travel through, so sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.Space is a vacuum. The light from the stars (including our own sun) travel across a great distance in a vacuum to get to us.The accepted speed of light is its speed in a vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s.
What is the diameter of the Milky Way?
Approximately 100,000 light years across.
Can light wave travel through air?
Yes ,....... light wave can travel through the air ... the light wave does not require any medium.
Does light require a medium to travel?
No. Light can travel in a vacuum.That's why we can receive light from sun even though there exists a vacuum in between Earth and sun.
How big is a nebula?
Depending on the type of nebula, they can range from a light year across to over a 100 light years in diameter.
How far across the milky way?
The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter and about 1000 light years thick.
Is a nebula big?
Depending on the type of nebula, they can range from a light year across to over a 100 light years in diameter.
