How many months are there in a light year?

A light year is a measure of distance. A light year is about 9,460,000,000,000 km, the distance light travels in a vacuum in one Earth year. It has nothing to do with weeks, months, days, etc. or any other of our calendar measurements of time.


What happens if the speed of light is not constant?

We'll get consequences if the speed of light is not constant. GPS won't work, for just one off the top. GPS has clocks that are "tweaked" to account for the relative velocity of the satellites (which are called "birds") because they're moving around us. A consequence of c not being a constant might be that time is a constant. And GPS wouldn't work because the clocks of the birds are biased to account for their differential velocity. It's not much, but it's real and it's included in the system. And if c was not constant and time was, then the time base on which GPS functions would be "off" and the system would present gross inaccuracies with its readings. Which it doesn't, even with the clocks of the birds keeping different time than what we use here on earth. We always thought of time being a constant, and it took Einstein and his revelations to shake us out of that thinking. We now know that time is not constant, but light speed is. And that means that something else must be not constant. And it is time that is not constant. There is a bit more to this, but what is posted is a sufficient response to answer the question.

How many years would it take to walk a distance of 1 light year?

It would take around 1 light year to walk a distance of 1 light year at a constant speed of 3 miles per hour without stopping. This is assuming continuous walking without breaks for sleep, food, or rest.

How many days does the South Pole have no light?
