Since 1 AU is the distance from the Sun to the Earth and it takes about 8 Minutes for light to travel such a distance this problem can be solved by simple multiplication and division.
(50,000 AU)(8 Minutes)=400,000 Minutes/60 (Minutes/Hour)=6666.67 Hours/24 (Hours/Earth Day)=277.78 Days
So the answer is 277.78 Earth Days or 0.76 Earth Years!

If you were to travel as speed of light how long would it take to travel our solar system?
In the furthest reaches of the Solar System is the Oort Cloud; a theorized cloud of icy objects that could orbit the Sun to a distance of 100,000 astronomical units, or 1.87 light-years away. Therefor at the speed of light it would take about 3.74 years to travel the diameter of the Solar System. However no object with mass can travel at the speed of light.
Does lighting come from the ground?
There are 3 main places lightening can travel from. The ground to a cloud, a cloud to a cloud, and the cloud to the ground.
