17987547480m/min -> speed of light per minute
299792458m/s -> speed of light per sec or light speed
In spite of its name, a light year does not indicate time, but it indicates distance! It actually equates to the distance that light travels in one Earth year, which is a very big distance, seeing that light travels at 186,000 miles per second.
Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
The element used to redefine a meter was the speed of light. Specifically, the meter was redefined in 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The speed of lightning does not change as it travels through the atmosphere. Lightning travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second.
Lightning does not come after thunder. Thunder is the sound produced from lightning. The amount of time in between when you see the lightning and when you hear the thunder makes you think that the thunder comes first but it is in fact the other way around.
A light-minute is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one minute's time. The distance of a light-minute is 11,176,943.8 miles or 17,987,547.5 km
A light-minute is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one minute's time. The distance of a light-minute is 11,176,943.8 miles or 17,987,547.5 km
A light-minute is a measure of distance. It is the distance light travels in one minute's time. One light-minute is a distance of about 11,176,943.82 miles.
The distance light travels in a year is called light-year
A light-minute is a measure of distance, not time. A light-minute is the distance light travels in a vacuum in one minute. Approximately 11,160,000 miles (18,000,000 km)
A light year is how far light travels in a year. A light min is how far light travels in a minute. light speed is 186000 mile/sec, at this speed you have to calculate how far it would travel in one year or one minute
The distance light travels in one minute. 17,987,547,480 meters (exactly, meter is standardized with the speed of light).
A light year
Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second and so 186,000*60 = 11,160,000 miles in a minute
That is called a light-year.
In vacuum, the distance would be roughly 11.2 million miles (rounded). It's never used as a unit of measure, so it doesn't have any particular name, and would be called simply "one light-minute". The distance from Earth to the Sun is about 81/3 of them.
