How many years to travel 23.6 trillion miles at 17500 mph?

Answer 1

(24 trillion miles) x (1609.344 meters per mile)

divided by

(300 million meters per second) x (86,400 seconds per day) x (365.24 days per year) =

4.08 years (rounded)

Answer 2

It is probably impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. In the hypothetical case that you could travel at 5 times the speed of light, it would of course take less than a year to travel 4.35 light-years (you would travel 5 light-years in a year). I am not quite sure how the time would be perceived from the point of view of the traveller in such a case.

Answer 3

That's going to depend a lot on how fast you're traveling. Just like

any other trip, the faster you drive, the sooner you get there.

For 5.88 trillion miles:

30 miles per hour . . . . . 22,360,000 years

60 miles per hour . . . . . 11,180,000 years

400 miles per hour (passenger jet) . . . . . 1,677,000 years

Speed of sound . . . . . 874,200 years

Speed of light . . . . . 1 year

Answer 5

Convert everything to compatible units of measurement - for example, convert the distance from light-years to miles. Then, use the formula:

distance = speed x time.

Solving for time: time = distance / speed.

Answer 6

(The answer is 26,397.26 years)

A Light-Year is 6 Trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles.

A year has 24 hours x 365 days for a total of 8,760 hours.

8,760 hours x 25,000 miles per hour for a total of 219,000,000 miles traveled in one year at 25,000 miles per hour.

6,000,000,000,000 miles for a light-year divided by 219,000,000 (the number of miles traveled in one year at 25,000 miles per hour) comes to 26,397.26 years to travel one light-year's distance at 25,000 miles per hour.

Answer 7

1 light year = 5.87849981 × 1012 miles.

That quantity divided by 25,000 = 235,139,992.4 years.

Answer 8

25 trillion miles is about 4.25 light-years. As such, it will take about 4.25 years to travel 25 trillion miles at the speed of light.

Answer 9

Depends on your notation of trillion - long or small scale?.

Using normal U.S. notation 1012 gives 33600000 hours so around 3,833 years

Answer 10

Divide the distance by the speed of light. If you express the speed of light in miles/second, the answer will be in seconds.
