In astronomy and distances of the universe how much is a ly?
A light year is the distance that light can travel in a year.
What is the distance that light travels in one year about 9.46 trillion kilometers?
That is the distance. You can also write in in scientific notation as 9.46 x 1012 km, or 9.46 x 1015 meters.
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
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.
What is the longest light year?
A light-year is a measure of distance that a photon of light will travel in one year .
Can a comet go a light year in 1 second?
No. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, and nothing can travel faster than light. Therefore, the quickest that anything could travel a light year is 1 year. A comet travels much slower than light.
How much time is a light year at the speed of light?
A light year is a unit of distance; it is the distance lght travel in one year which is 5.8 trillion miles.
How much days is in a light year?
A light year is commonly thought of as time, like a year. Really, it is a measure of distance. It is how far light can travel in a year, which is about 6 trillion miles.
How much is 1 light year in standard form?
The question should be How Long is a light year (in standard form) as a light year is the DISTANCE that light will travel in one year No...I'm not sure what a light year would be in a leap year.
How far can light travel in the year in a vacuum?
It can travel about 5.86 trillion miles in one year. This is a light year.
How much is 9.7 light years?
well it depends on what you are measuring your 'much' in. First thing is, a light year is a distance not a time. It is defined as the distance light would travel in the time of one human year. Now to define this: light travels at ~300000000ms-1 and there are 31536000s in one year, so light will travel: 300000000*31536000 = 9.5x1015 metres in one year (that is 95 followed by 14 zeros! so a long distance) so in 9.7 light years light will travel 9.2x1016 metres. Which is a very very long distance.
How many seconds does a ray of light travel in a year?
There are only 31,536,000 seconds in a year. So, light can only travel for 31,536,000 in a year.
How many second in a light year?
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles. A light year is a measure of distance, not time. A light year is the distance that light will travel in one year. One light second is 186,000 miles.
The light year is measured by?
how far u can travel at the speed of light in a year
How much time would pass on Earth if I traveled at the speed of light for a year?
If you were to travel at the speed of light for a year, no time would pass for you, but approximately one year would pass on Earth.
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. ;)
If I see a planet that is 1 light year how much time has passed for me to see it?
One year ! A light year - is a measurement of distance over time. It is the distance light takes to travel over a single Earth year. The distance is 5,878,612,843,200 miles.
