The distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year, approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers or 5.88 trillion miles. Thus, the distance light can travel in 15 years is more than 88 trillion miles.

How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?

It would take approximately 65 years to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran, which is about 65 light-years away. However, currently, we do not have the technology to travel at the speed of light.


Where is Aldebaran?

an orange star located in the constellation Taurus Magnitude: 0.86Aldebaran is a red star that is located 65.23 light years from the planet Earth. The distance in light years can be converted to 383462744055633 miles, 1440 yards.


If a star located 65 light years away from Earth stops giving off light energy at this very moment and how long will it be before you can know it and explain?

It would take 65 years for us on Earth to notice that the star has stopped giving off light energy, since light travels at the speed of light. This means that the light emitted by the star today will take 65 years to reach us, so we would only be able to detect the absence of its light after that time has passed.


How many miles is Venus from the sun if it takes light 345 seconds to reach earth?

Light takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth, which is approximately 93 million miles. If light takes 345 seconds (or about 5 minutes and 45 seconds), this distance would be roughly 65 million miles. Since Venus orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 67 million miles, this estimate aligns closely with its average distance from the Sun. Thus, Venus is approximately 67 million miles from the Sun.


What is Taurus' brightest star?

The brightest star in the constellation Taurus is Aldebaran. It is an orange giant star located about 65 light-years away from Earth. Aldebaran is known for its distinctive appearance and its position as the "eye" of the bull in Taurus.
