You don't need to "propel" something, once it is already moving. The natural tendency is for a moving object to continue moving. It requires a force to STOP a moving object, but not to keep it moving at a constant speed. Now, light behaves not just as a particle (photon) but also as a wave; but I believe that the general principle is still the same.
What else can I help you with?
How long does it take red photons from the sun to reach the earth?
A photon is a piece of light. Light of different colors travels at the same speed in a vacuum. It takes light about 8 minutes 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth.
How many miles is in 63 light years?
6 million trillion (6,000,000,000,000 x 1,000,000).__________________________________________________________1 Light Year = 5878625373183.61 Miles = 5.87862 billion miles (according to SI measurement units)1 million light years = 5.87862 trillion miles = 5.8786 x 10E18
How far is a light year in miles and kilometer?
A "Light year" is a distance. It's the distance light travels in one year, in vacuum.5,878,450,000,000 miles (rounded)9,460,450,000,000 kilometers (rounded)
Where does the light in a light year come from?
It gets it name because it is the distance that light travels in one Earth year.
500 million miles is how many light years?
light travels at 175000 miles per second divide 500million by 175000 and you will see how many seconds it takes a light year is 175000x seconds in a year try it
What is Speed of photon?
Photons, our word for the properties of light that make it seem particle-like, are massless and travel about 186,000 miles per hour in a vacuum.
Why do we not feel the heat of the stars?
Because they are billions and billions and billions of miles away from us.
318 miles equals how much hours?
This is a pointless question. There is no information on the traveller or mode of transport. Is it a photon of light? a snail? a person walking? flying?
How long does it take a photon of light to make it to earth?
A photon of light emitted from the Sun takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth. This is because the average distance from the Sun to Earth is approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers), and light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). Therefore, once light is generated in the Sun's core, it takes a little over eight minutes to arrive at our planet.
How far is a star?
Every star is a different distance from us. The nearest one is about 93 million miles. (That's the one called the "Sun".) The next nearest one is 4.3 light years from us. That's about 25,278,030,000,000 miles. (You can see why it's easier to use light-years than miles.) From there, there are billions and billions of stars, grouped in billions and billions of galaxies. The farthest ones we can see are about 14 billion light years away, but we're sure there are more that are farther away than that.
Is the sun billions of miles away?
No, the sun is not billions of miles away. The sun varies in distance between 92 million and 94 million miles away.
Distance between galaxies?
billions of miles.
How long are the Soo Locks?
billions of miles
How many seconds are needed for a photon to travel 3200 miles?
0.01717822s
Where is the sun shining?
Everywhere within billions of miles.
What is 2 billion miles converted into million miles?
2 billions is 2,000 millions.
What is the longest light year?
A light-year is a measure of distance that a photon of light will travel in one year .
