Because gamma rays are exactly the same thing
that light is, only with shorter wavelengths.
Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, therefore they move at the speed of light.
If it is borne by wind blown dust and small particles, then as fast as the wind, potentially. If it is direct radiation like gamma rays, then this travels at the speed of light.
The speed of light (3x10^8 m/s) as it is an electromagnetic wave and they all travel at this speed in a vacuum. This number can be used for gases as well as the molecules are so spread out at normal temperatires Same as speed of light "C". Gamma Rays are also form of Electro Magnetic Radiations. All EMR incl Light travel at same speed in same medium.Which is normally approximated to 3 x 10^8 m/sRead more: What_speed_do_gamma_rays_travel_at

Speed of light.
They travel to the speed of light? to it? and where exactly is the speed of light?
Darkness is the absence of light and will therefore travel at the speed of light (6x108m/s)
Yes ... in a vacuum.
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and therefore travel at the speed of light. This would require an extremely massive gravitational field, i.e. an extremely massive object, on the scale of stars. The same goes for beta particles; electrons and positrons, who already travel at nearly the speed of light due to their low mass. Alpha particles, however, due have some mass, and therefore travel at only 5% the speed of light, still fast enough to escape the Earth, but not fast enough to be affected by larger planets, perhaps.
At the speed of light, which is 299,792,458 metres per second.
186'000 miles an hour or speed of light
