It means it has taken light 130 years to travel the distance. Light travels 5,878,630,000,000 miles in 1 year, so something 130 light years away, is a LONG way away.
1,300 light-years is 7,642,000,000,000,000 miles. This is the distance light travels in 1,300 years.
Light years is a measure for distance, the distance light travels in one year. For the light to travel 587 light years, it takes 587 years.
Light years is a measure of distance, not of time; it is the distance that light travels in one year.
Distance (Light Years)183 ± 7
Yes, because light years is a specific distance. One light year is the distance light travels in the vacuum of space in one year. This distance is about 5.86 trillion miles. Therefore, 114 million light years is calculated by multiplying 5.86 trillion by 114 million. This results in an enormous distance, expressed as:6.70148979 × 1020 miles
21 million light years is a distance of 1.23448496 × 10^20 miles. In other words, it would take a beam of light 21 million years to travel that distance.
27,000 light-years is a distance of 158,720,000,000,000,000 miles. This is the distance light will travel in 27,000 years.
The distance has been generally presented in Light-years, which is the distance light travels in one-year. The distance to Alpha Centari is 4.7 light-years (alpha Centari is 4.3 light-years distance).
Light years is a measure for distance, the distance light travels in one year. For the light to travel 587 light years, it takes 587 years.
The NGC 1300 galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy 61 million light-years from Earth in the Eridanus constellation, and is 100,000 light-years in diameter, and contains about 100 billion stars.
A light-year is a distance, not a year. 16 light-years is the distance light can travel in 16 years - 94,058,003,200,000 miles.
Years are a measurement of time; light years are a measurement of distance. A light year is the distance light travels in one year (in a vacuum).
The distance of one light year, in light years, is exactly 1.
4.2 light years is the distance to the Alpha Centauri Star System.
a distance of 1.58 × 10-5 light-years).
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year.
A light year is a measure of distance not time. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. So for light to travel 6,300 light years, would take 6,300 years
Light years is a measure of distance, not of time; it is the distance that light travels in one year.
