What else can I help you with?
Does a shooting star emit light of its own?
yes. the shooting star emits lots of light ************* A shooting star (meteor) is dust or very small bits of rock that enter the earth's atmosphere at a very high speed. The friction of the air heats the shooting star so hot that in incandesces (glows)- so yes, it does give off it's own light.
What is the acceleration of light from a star?
The speed of light is constant in a vacuum and is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. Light from a star travels at this speed from the star to Earth without acceleration.
What is a hypothetical particle that travels faster than the speed of light?
None. According to Einstein's Theory - NOTHING can travel as fast as - or faster than the speed of light. so - technically - it is true - when you look see a star in the sky - that is 1 light year away - you are actually seeing what it looked like 1 year ago - when the light left the star!!!!!
What is the difference between a regular star and a shooting star?
A regular star is like the sun, only very far away.A shooting star is not a star. It is a meteor entering the earth's atmosphere and burning up. This is the long light streak you may see briefly in the night sky.
How fast would you have to travel in order to reach a star that is 50 light years away from Earth when you are 40 years older than you were when you left earth?
You would have to be travelling faster than the speed of light in order to do this. And, theoretically speaking, this would be impossible to do.However, if you were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, you would need to be travelling 1.25x the speed of light (which is about 3.75 x 108 m/s2).
Is a shooting star faster the a comet?
No. On average, they should have approximately the same speed.
Wahich is faster 0.5 past light speed from Star Wars or warp 10 from Star Trek?
0.5 light speed
Does a shooting star emit light of its own?

Is a meteor faster then a shooting star?
They are just different words for the same thing.
How fast can the millennium falcon go in Star Wars?
The Millennium Falcon can go .5 faster than light speed, which is 390,365,697,829 metres per second
How fast does a shooting star go?
A shooting star can travel at speeds of up to 148,000 miles per hour (238,000 km/h) as it enters Earth's atmosphere. The speed at which a shooting star travels can vary depending on factors such as its size and angle of entry.
Is lightning or a shooting star faster?
Lightning is faster than a shooting star. Lightning can travel at speeds of around 220,000 miles per hour (354,055 kilometers per hour), while shooting stars typically travel at speeds of around 36,000 miles per hour (57,935 kilometers per hour).
What should it look like inside an alcubierre warp bubble?
A football-shaped star-ship for effective speed faster than light.
How can the light from a distant star be old It would imply the star moved away faster than the speed of light?
Since stars are so far away, it takes a very long time for their light to reach us. The closest star to our sun is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.218 light-years away. This means that it would take 4.218 years for light (travelling at a speed of 300,000 km/s) to reach us from this star. As a result of this time delay (4.218 years), we are not seeing this star as it is right now - we are seeing it as it was, 4.218 years ago.The Andromeda Galaxy, for example, is significantly further away: it's approximately 2.5 million light-years from us. Since it has taken about 2.5 million years for the light from this galaxy to reach us, it is 2.5 millions years older than it currently appears to be.Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Even if it were possible for a distant star to travel this speed away from us, or even faster than this, it would mean that the light from this star would never be able to reach us.The most distant stars (in other galaxies) may appear to be moving close to - or faster than - the speed of light. This is due to the expansion of the fabric of the universe.
How many years would it take to reach the fartherest star traveling in light years?
I'm afraid you would never reach it. The furthest star, and thus the furthest galaxies are receding faster than the speed of light.
What are the quick streaks of light caused by a meteor called?
shooting star
What creates the streak of light commonly called a shooting star?
It is a meteor.
