Light always travels at the speed of light, although
that's a different number in different substances.
Light always travels at the speed of light. The only time that's 299,792,458 meters per second is when the light is in vacuum.
Light slows down when it travels through matter.The only time light travels at is maximum speed, c, is in a vacuum.
A very prompting question! I am physics professor and my research deals with this topic, which spans the fields of minute distances (Planck lengths) and extra dimensions. Currently we believe light only travels the speed of light within the "inertia vacuum" of a Calabi Yau manifold. ================================ Light always travels at the speed of light. The only time that's 299,792,458 meters per second is when the light is in vacuum.
By definition, light travels at the speed of light. About 300,000 kps
The time difference is due to the differences in the speed of light and sound. Light travels near 300,000,000 meters/second where sound travels 343 meters/second. Light travels almost one million times faster than sound therefore it reaches you first.

this can never change, light travels at a constant speed, a light year is the distance light travels in one year.
The speed of light is not dependent on how long time it travels.
Light waves always travel at the speed of light ... whatever it may be inside the material they're traveling through. They only travel at 300,000 kilometers (186,282 miles) per second in vacuum.
By definition, light travels at the speed of light. About 300,000 kps
time dilates, space contracts, speed of light holds constant.
-- The distance that light travels in some amount of time is expressed in units of distance. -- The time that it takes light to cover some amount of distance is expressed in units of time. -- The speed of light is expressed in units of speed . . . distance/time
The speed of light is nearly a million times faster than the speed of sound.The speed of light is roughly 882 thousand times the speed of sound.-- Sound takes about 4.7 seconds to cover 1 mile.-- Light takes about 0.0000054 second to cover 1 mile.-- In the time it takes sound to travel one mile, light travels 881,741 miles .
900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light. If you travel at any slower speed, it will take longer of course. But do some reading on time dilation - if the traveller travels at a speed very near the speed of light, from his point of view it will take much less time.900 billion years - if you travel near the speed of light.
