Light second
1 billionth of a second 1X10^-10
Light would travel just less than 1 foot in a billionth of a second, or roughly 11 3/4 inches.
Nanoseconds are a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second. They are used to measure extremely short durations such as the time it takes for electronic circuits to switch or for light to travel a very short distance.
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles.
In a vacuum, light will travel 299,792,458 meters in one second.
No, that would be a light-second. A light year is the distance light travels in one year, which is 5,865,696,000,000 miles (5.87 trillion miles). Or 946,080,000,000,00 light travel 300,000 km per second
The distance from the Moon to Earth is a little more than one light-SECOND, meaning it takes light a little over a second to travel that distance.
distance = speed x time. Multiply the speed of light (in miles/second in this case) by the time in seconds, to get the distance travel in miles.
A nanosecond is a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second (1 ns = 10^-9 seconds). It is used to measure very short time intervals, such as the time it takes for an electronic signal to travel a certain distance, or the duration of light pulses in fiber optic communication systems. In electronics and computer systems, nanoseconds are used to measure the speed of operations and the delay of signals, among other things.
No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, and nothing can travel faster than light. Therefore, the quickest that anything could travel a light year is 1 year. A comet travels much slower than light.
Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum. In one day, light can travel a distance of approximately 5.88 trillion miles.
A light-year is a measure of distance, just like a foot, a meter or a mile. A measure of distance is not considered to travel. If the question is how far light travels in one second, the answer is 299,792.458 kilometers, or about 186,286 miles. The speeds noted refer to light moving in a vacuum.
