speed of light = 299792458 m/s
time it takes light to travel around the world = 40075160/299792458 = 0.134 seconds
time it takes light to travel around the world 7+1/2 times = 1.005 seconds
light can travel around earth about seven times
No. A light year is the distance that any light can travel in a year.It's about 63 thousand times the distance from the sun to Earth.The light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to travel to the Earth.
about 480 seconds
Jupiter is about 40 to 52 light minutes away from Earth, depending on their positions in their respective orbits around the Sun. This means that it takes light approximately 40 to 52 minutes to travel from Jupiter to Earth.
Light travels at approximately 186,282 miles per second. The circumference of the Earth is about 24,901 miles. Therefore, it would take light approximately 0.133 seconds to travel all the way around the Earth.
It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.

It takes approximatly 7minutes to travel from sun to earth the sun light.
One light-year is the distance light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles. Light doesn't orbit the Earth, but if you're asking how long it takes light to travel around the Earth's circumference once, at the speed of light (about 186,282 miles per second), it would take only about 0.13 seconds.
Light cannot travel around the Earth, since light travels at a straight line and the Earth is round. The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.
One second.
A "light year" is a measure of distance, derived from "how far light can travel in one Earth year". Thus, if you shine a torch for the amount of time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun exactly once, that light would have travelled the distance of a "light year".
