How long would it take to get from earth to Saturn traveling at the speed of light?
The answer depends on where Saturn is in relation to the earth. Since both planets orbit the sun at different distances and different speeds, this distance varies over time.
Check out this webpage- http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/uncgi/Solar/
It lists the distances from earth to the other planets and the sun, updated constantly. Right now, the distance from Earth to Saturn is 10.326 AU. One AU is equal to the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun; 149,598,000 km.
So we calculate the answer taking the current distance in AU, converting to kilometers, then dividing by the speed of light (300,000km/sec, roughly)
10.326 au * 149,598,000 km/au = 1544748948 km (1,544,750,000 km if we're keeping track of significant digits).
Divide by c- 1,544,750,000 km / 300,000 km/s = 5149.2 seconds.
Convert to hours by dividing by 3600 (60 seconds / minute * 60 minutes / hour)
=1.43 hours or so.
[you can get a more precise hour by using a better value for the speed of light, but the answer will be very close to what is given.]
What else can I help you with?
Traveling at speed of light how much time will pass in 70 years on earth?
None. At the speed of light, time stops completely. It is impossible for anything with an invariant mass to move at the speed of light; only particles with no "rest mass" (such as photons) can do so.
How long does it take a particle traveling at the speed of light take to travel from the sun to the earth?
From Earth, it takes about 8minutes 20seconds if you travel in a straight line.
What are massless particles traveling the speed of light?
Massless particles traveling at the speed of light include photons, the particles of light. They have no rest mass and always move at the speed of light in a vacuum according to the theory of special relativity.
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called?
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called RADIATION! :)
What is the same for all photon traveling through a vacuum?
Speed. All photons traveling through a vacuum travel at the speed of light.
How long would it take to travel to Saturn from earth at the speed of light?
Working with very, very round numbers . . .-- The Earth's average distance from the sun is 1 AU.-- Saturn's average distance from the sun is 9 AU.-- The closest together that Earth and Saturn can ever be is 8 AU = 66.5 minutes at light speed.-- The farthest apart that Earth and Saturn can ever be is 10 AU = 83.2 minutes at light speed.
How long would it take to get to the moon if you were traveling from the Earth at the speed of light?
About 1.5 seconds
How long would it take to get from earth to Uranus traveling at the speed of light?
3 days

When is the speed of light the fastest?
When the light is traveling through vacuum.
Object traveling through the speed of light?
Electrons are able to travel close to speed of light.
What are massless particles traveling the speed of light?
Massless particles traveling at the speed of light include photons, the particles of light. They have no rest mass and always move at the speed of light in a vacuum according to the theory of special relativity.

When light from a star fades is it still traveling at light speed?
Yes.
How long does it take in minutes to reach earth from the sun?
When traveling at the speed of light, about 8 minutes. When walking, alot longer.
When a body of some mass travels with a speed of light and hits the earth then what happens to the earth?
The mass of a body increases as its speed increases. A body that has any masswhen it's not traveling at the speed of light would have infinite mass when it istraveling at that speed. So its kinetic energy would be infinite, and anything it hit ...whether a bird, a plane, the Earth, or a star ... would be totally blasted to smithereensthat were too small to detect.Fortunately, a body that has any mass when it's not traveling at the speed oflight can never travel at that speed.
