Light is everywhere except in the inside of a cow.
A light beam that travels for the entire lifetime of the universe would cover a distance of approximately 13.8 billion light-years. This is because the observable universe is estimated to be about 13.8 billion years old in terms of light-travel distance.
This is because nothing else in the entire discovered universe moves as fast as the speed of light!
The observable Universe has a radius of about 46 billion light-years; that would be a diameter of 92 billion light-years. The entire Universe is likely much bigger, but it isn't know how much bigger.
First, you would measure the diameter of the Universe in miles, or its volume in cubic miles; but what would you want to measure in square miles?Second, the size of the Universe is not currently known. The observable Universe has a radius of about 46 billion light-years. Convert that to kilometers or miles if you like. One light-year is about 10 million million kilometers. But the entire Universe is probably much, much bigger.First, you would measure the diameter of the Universe in miles, or its volume in cubic miles; but what would you want to measure in square miles?Second, the size of the Universe is not currently known.

Another name for the entire physical universe is cosmos. It is considered the universe as a unified whole in itself.
The observable universe is estimated to be about 93 billion light-years in diameter, which translates to roughly 28.5 billion parsecs. However, the entire universe may extend beyond what we can observe, and its true size is still a subject of research and debate in cosmology. Thus, while we can quantify the observable part, the total number of parsecs for the entire universe remains unknown.
The term "cosmos" is often used to describe the entire physical universe, including all matter and energy.
The limits of the observable Universe are at a distance of about 46 billion light-years. That's 46 x 109 light-years. Each light-year has roughly 6 x 1012 miles. If you multiply those two numbers, and do a bit of rounding, you get 3 x 1023 miles. Note that this is only the observable Universe. The entire Universe is larger than this, but it is not currently known how much larger.
Cosmos, in astronomy, the entire physical universe considered as a unified whole (from the Greek kosmos, meaning “order,” “harmony,” and “the world”). Generally speaking, we use the word universe to mean the entire physical universe; a synonym is cosmos.
When the big bang theory started the universe, light was created.
