Oh boy ! (186,282 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (1 AU / 93,000,000 mi) = (186,282 x 3,600 / 93,000,000) (mi - sec - AU / sec - hr - mi) = 7.211 AU/hr (rounded) Now what are you going to do with that number ??

How long would it take to get from earth to Saturn traveling at the speed of light?
The answer depends on where Saturn is in relation to the earth. Since both planets orbit the sun at different distances and different speeds, this distance varies over time. Check out this webpage- http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/uncgi/Solar/ It lists the distances from earth to the other planets and the sun, updated constantly. Right now, the distance from Earth to Saturn is 10.326 AU. One AU is equal to the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun; 149,598,000 km. So we calculate the answer taking the current distance in AU, converting to kilometers, then dividing by the speed of light (300,000km/sec, roughly) 10.326 au * 149,598,000 km/au = 1544748948 km (1,544,750,000 km if we're keeping track of significant digits). Divide by c- 1,544,750,000 km / 300,000 km/s = 5149.2 seconds. Convert to hours by dividing by 3600 (60 seconds / minute * 60 minutes / hour) =1.43 hours or so. [you can get a more precise hour by using a better value for the speed of light, but the answer will be very close to what is given.]
How long would it take to get from Earth to Uranus at the speed of light?
Uranus orbits the sun at an average distance of about 2.877 billion km (19.2 AU). So when Earth and Uranus are lined up on the same side of the sun, the distance is 18.2 AU, and when they're lined up on opposite sides if the sun, the distance is 20.2 AU. At the speed of light, the time ranges from 2hours 31.4minutes to 2hours 48.1minutes.
How long would a radar signal take to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars when the two planets are 0.6 AU apart?
One AU is 148,597,871 km, so 0.7 AU is 104,718,510 km. The velocity of light and other electromagnetic radiations in free space is 299,792.458 km/second, so the time for the round trip is (2 * 104,718,510 / 299,792.458) seconds - or 698.6 seconds (11 minutes, 38.6 seconds.)
If Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun why does it take light or radio waves 8 minutes to get from the Sun to the Earth but it takes between 10 and 20 minutes to get from Earth to Mars?
Earth's average distance from the sun = 1 AU = 93 million milesDistance in terms of light-speed = (93,000,000) / (186,282) = 499 sec = 8min 19secMars' average distance from the sun = 1.52 AU = 141.4 million milesDistance in terms of light-speed = (141,400,000 / 186,282) = 759 sec = 12min 39secWhat's the problem ?
Where do comets get their speed?
Any object that comes from a large distance will acquire speed as it approaches the Sun, due to Earth's attraction. The speed from this mechanism alone will be about 42 kilometers per second, for an object at 1 AU from the Sun.
How many days would it take to get to the sun at the fastest speed?
Approximately 5,311.760417142857 hours or 221.3233507142857 days to cover one AU (One AU is about 92,955,807.3 miles or 149,597,870.7 kilometers) with a very constant, average cruising speed of about 17,500 miles per hour ( 28,164 kilometers per hour)
How many astronomical units are in a light hour?
1 light-hour = 7.2 AU (rounded) 1 light-hour is approximately 1.08×109 km, while 1 AU is approximately 1.5 x 108 km (149,597,870,700 m).
How much do labourer earn per hours in australian?
A laborer in Australia makes between AU$15.33 - AU$28.80 per hour.
What is the speed of light in terms of astronomical units?
1 AU is approximately 8 light minutes.
What was the minimum wage in New Zealand per hour in 1987?
The minimum wage in Australia per hour in 1987 was AU$15.00 per hour
How long would it take to travel to Saturn from earth at the speed of light?
Working with very, very round numbers . . .-- The Earth's average distance from the sun is 1 AU.-- Saturn's average distance from the sun is 9 AU.-- The closest together that Earth and Saturn can ever be is 8 AU = 66.5 minutes at light speed.-- The farthest apart that Earth and Saturn can ever be is 10 AU = 83.2 minutes at light speed.
How much does Big W pay juniors per hour in au?

What is the average machinist salary in Australia?
The average salary for a machinist in Australia is 23.17 AU dollars per hour. This is equivalent to 21.82 US dollars per hour.
How many Au is 1000 light years?
They really are not comparable. Light travels 186,000 miles per second, and one AU is about 8.3 light-MINUTES. You can probably do the math, from minutes to hours to days to years as well as I can. Or, you could google "1000 light years in AU" and get the answer

What is an au and a light year?
One AU, or "astronomical unit", is the average distance between the Sun and the Earth, about 93 million miles. One light year is the distance than light travels in one year. Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.24 days in a year. Just multiply all those numbers together to get one light year in miles. Just for comparison, one AU is equal to 500 light-SECONDS, or 8.3 light-MINUTES.
