How long would it take you to go about 600 light years away at a speed of 100 mph?

Answer 1

1200 light years is the distance that light travels in 1200 years.

The speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 kilometers per second.

There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.24 days per year.

Just multiply all of those numbers together, and there's your answer.

Answer 2

1 light year = 5.8785 x 1012 miles (rounded)

1,600 light years = 9.4056 x 1015 miles (rounded)

That's 9,405,599,698,000,000 miles, rounded to the nearest million miles.

Answer 3

Since distance = speed * time, time = distance / speed

= 600 light years / (100 miles / hour).

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s, which is about 186,282.4 miles/s or about 5,878,499,912,000 miles/year, so a light year is about 5,878,499,912,000 miles, and 600 light years is about 3,527,099,947,000,000 miles.

100 miles / hour * 8765.812778 hours / year = 876581.2778 miles / year, so

600 light years / (100 miles / hour)

= 3,527,099,947,000,000 miles / (876581.2778 miles / year)

= about 4,023,700,000 years or 4,023,700 millennia

Answer 4

Traveling at 100 mph, it would take over 7 million years to travel 600 light years. This is because the speed of light is much faster than the speed of a car, so even at high speeds, it would take an incredibly long time to cover such a vast distance.

Answer 5

1,000 light years = 5.87849981 × 1015 miles.
