How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?
It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.
How long would it take to travel to from earth to sun?
That depends on your speed. Even at the speed of light it would take you about 8 minutes 20 seconds.
How long does it take to travel 600 light years?
It really depends on your speed. If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take 600 years. 600 light years equals 3,527,175,223,910,165 miles. So divide that by the speed you would be traveling to get the length of time it would take you.
How long would it take to go one light year?
Depends on your speed. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. If you traveled slower it would take longer.Depends on the speed you are going.At the speed of light one year.See related question for details of a light yearJust like any other distance, it depends on the speed of travel.-- At the speed of light, radio, x-rays, etc., it takes 1 year.-- At 1 million miles per hour, it takes about 671 years.-- At 60 miles per hour, it takes about 11.2 million years.A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year in a vacuum. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. So, light will travel about 5.8 trillion miles in one year. Now, to answer the question. The answer depends on how fast you are traveling. If you were in a space ship travelling 99.9999% the speed of light, it would take you about a year to travel a light year. Now, there is currently no human-made space craft, that we know of, that can travel that fast. The space shuttle travels at about 17,500 miles per hour. In order for the space shuttle to travel one light year, it would take about 38,262 years.
How long would it take for sound to travel to the sun from earth?
Sound can not travel in the vacuum of space, but if it could, and assuming the same speed as in normal air, then it would take about 19 years for sound to travel 93 million miles at 768 miles per hour.
How would people travel at the speed of sound?
We can use ultrasonic planes. They can travel with that speed.
How do you think it would be possible to travel at the speed of light?
The only way to travel at the speed of light is to not have any mass.
What is the speed of electricity or lightning compared to the speed of sound and light?
The speed of lightning is somewhere between that of light and sound which is why most scientists would agree that the speed of light and the speed of sound make a good comparison to that of lightning and electricity.
What would not travel thruogh a room with no air is it sound or light?
sound
If you travel at the speed of light in a car and turn your headlights 'ON' What will Happen?
To travel at the speed of light you would have to BE light so i guess you would became an even brighter light The switch to turn on the lights will work but no light will come on as you are already at that speed
Can a bullet travel faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, bullets travel faster than the speed of sound. That is why if someone was to shoot a target from a distance and you were standing beside the target, you would be able to see the target get hit by the bullet before you would hear the crack of the gun Some bullets travel faster than the speed of sound, but not all.
How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?
It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.
IF a bulb travels at the speed of light and is turned on will it glow?
It could not travel at the speed of light. But hypothetically, it would glow.
What is the name of speed of sound?
The speed of sound is a Mach. 1 Mach for a particular medium is the distance that sound would travel through that medium in 1 second.
Seeming as the speed of sound in air speeds up if the temperature rises therefore how hot would you have to heat the air up until the speed of sound through that air is equal to the speed of light?
It never would. Sound is vibration through some physical medium; the speed of sound is related to the speed of the vibrations. No physical medium can move at the speed of light, so the speed of sound could never get there.
What is the limitation of science and technology?
The limitation of science and technology is the ability to travel at the speed of light and in order to travel at the speed of light we would need to find a way to not interact with the higgs boson. Since we are interacting with the higgs boson we can not travel at the speed of light.
If a human were to travel speed of sound without Aircraft would he be able to survive?
no
