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 year
Just 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 at the speed of sound to travel 1 light year?
at the speed of sound, 768 mph, it would take 891,837 years.
How long would it take nasa to travel a light year?
There is currently no technology that would enable human astronauts, from NASA or from any other organization, to travel one light year. There are some theoretical proposals for ideas that might work, but nothing even on the horizon for now. we can travel in space ROUGHLY 30,000 mph...at that rate it would take us ROUGHLY 22,366 years to travel 1 light year
How long would it take gamma rays from an exploding star to reach earth?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they travel at the speed of light. If a star is one light year away, it will reach Earth in one year.
What does 6300 light years equal to in earth years?
A light year is a measure of distance not time. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. So for light to travel 6,300 light years, would take 6,300 years
What is the longest light year?
A light-year is a measure of distance that a photon of light will travel in one year .
How long would it take the light from a star 72 light year away from earth to reach the earth?
Easy answer: it would take 72 years.
How long would it take to go 5878630000000 miles in light years?
approx. 1 year
What is the approximate time it would take to travel a light year?
if you are going the speed of light, it would take 1 year.
How long does it take to see a light year?
One year.
How long would it take at the speed of sound to travel 1 light year?
at the speed of sound, 768 mph, it would take 891,837 years.
How long in lightyears would it take to travel to Eris the dwarf planet?
A light year is a unit of space, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year. Eris is far less than a light year away.
How long is a lite year?
A "light" year, is how long it takes light to travel in a year. Which is 5,865,696,000,000 miles. So it would take you 1274 years constantly travelling at 60 miles per hour to go the same distance light travels in one hour. OR it would take 111600240 years to drive the same distance consistently at 60mph's.
How long would it take to travel only one light year?
What, walking, swimming? a long time. By definition one light year is how far LIGT travels in one year. That's 5.8 trillion miles, or 5,800,000,000,000!
How long would it take 1400MHZ to travel 200 light years?
If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave, it will travel a light-year per year. That's how the "light-year" is defined. The frequency (1400 MHz) is irrelevant in this case.
How long does it take to travel 1 light year?
It will take 1 year, as soon as you and Albert work out how to travel at the speed of light. ;)
How long would it take to neerest galaxy?
Canis Major at 25,000 light years away a light year is equal to the time it takes light in one year to travel. Speed of light is roughly 671,000,000 mph.
How long would it take a car to travel one light year?
One light year is 5,865,696,000,000 miles. Let's say that the car travels at an average speed of 50 miles per hour. It would take 4,888,080,000 days, or 13,392,000 years.
