Well it won't as light can't turn only go straight from its source.

It almost could if you used fiber optics, and then if you used fiber optic cable the loss in the cable would have the light completely gone long before the light made it around the world.

But the math Speed of light = 299,792,458 METERS PER SECOND

Circumference of the Earth = 40075.16 km

Math MPS to KMPS 299792458 / 1000 = 299,792.458 Kilometers per second

40075.16 km / 299792.458 kmps = .1336 seconds
