For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?
It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.
How much time the moon ray takes to come in the Earth?
The average time that it takes for light to travel from the moon's surface to the earth's surface or vice versa is about 1.255 seconds.
Why does it take longer for light to reach earth then the time it takes light reflections off the moon to get to earth?
It doesn't. If the light reflecting off of the moon is what's reaching you first...then it's night time. The above answers is incorrect as u can see the moon during the day as well..... This is a little more complicated than you think. Firstly it takes about 8 minutes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth, and a second or so for it to reach the Moon. The light being reflected back to you from the moon is actually light from the Sun. So Light from Sun to Earth 8 minutes ( i am using round figures ) to the moon 8 minutes 1 second. Light from the Moon to the Earth is 1 sec. However the light your are seeing is 8 minutes and 2 seconds old, not 1 second. The reason you think it is quicker is because the Moon is closer to the Earth, its kind of a trick question. Or part of the time, the moon is closer to the sun than the Earth is. Like this morning when looking to the East just before sunrise, I saw a crescent moon. The light from the sun arrived at the moon first, then reflected to us. In this case, that path of light would be approximately the same distance as a beam of light directly from the sun.
What is approximately 1.28 light seconds away from earth?
Approximately 1.28 light seconds away from Earth is the Moon. The average distance between Earth and the Moon is about 1.28 light seconds.
Why can light travel from the sun to the earth?
If by the Earth seeing the Sun you mean, why can people on Earth see the Sun, it is because we have organs with which to perceive the electromagnetic radiation (some of which is light) produced by thermonuclear fusion in the core of the Sun, and because of the orientation of the Earth and its rotation, this radiation reaches us here on Earth when it's day time (when our side of the Earth is facing the Sun. The Earth's pole is tilted 24 degrees to the line perpendicular to the plane of its orbit about the Sun.
For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?
It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.
How many light seconds to the moon?
The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 1.28 light-seconds. This means it takes light about 1.28 seconds to travel from the Earth to the Moon.
How much time does light take to travel from moon to earth?
About 1.3 seconds
How many light years is the earth to the moon?
The distance from the Moon to Earth is a little more than one light-SECOND, meaning it takes light a little over a second to travel that distance.
How long does it take light to travel from moon to earth?
Roughly 1.28 seconds (rounded)
What is the distance of the moon from Earth?
To find the distance between the Earth and Moon you would use Lunar distance. Lunar distance is the measurement from and to the Earth and Moon which calculates 238,900 miles
How long does it take for light to travel from the sun to the moon then to the earth?
It takes about 8 and one third minutes to get to the Moon. From the Moon to the Earth only takes a second or so. Of course the light may reach the Earth first, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth, but it hardly makes any difference.
Does it take 8 mins or 8 seconds for light to travel to the moon?
Earth to moon . . . 1.28 seconds Sun to earth . . . 8 minutes 19 seconds
Were does the moon and earth get its light from?
The moon and earth get there light from the sun when the sun shines onto the moon the moon reflects the suns light onto the earth.
Does the earth travel around the moon or does the moon travel around the sun?
the moon travels around the earth,and the earth travels around the sun
How much Time light takes to travel from sun to moon?
I believe it takes light from the sun about seven minutes to reach earth and moon. And light travels at 186,000 miles pre second !
How long does it take moonlight to travel to earth?
The speed of light is 300,000 km per second. The Moon's distance varies between about 360,000 km and 405,000 km from the Earth. So it takes a little over a second for light reflected from the Moon to reach Earth.
