Light travels a distance of one light year in one year.
It takes light 40 years to travel a distance of 40 light years.
To calculate how long it takes light to travel a distance, you can use the formula: time = distance / speed. In this case, for a distance of 455 meters and a speed of 3108 meters per second, it would take approximately 0.147 seconds for light to travel that distance.
It would take (10 divided by 30,000,000,000) seconds to travel 10 cms, which is 0.000000000333333 of a second (approximately!) In nanoseconds this is 1/3rd of a nanosecond. For all practical purposes, for such a small distance, one could consider that the beam of light (in space) would travel that distance almost in an instant. It's that fast!
Traveling 39 light years would take 39 years at the speed of light.
Traveling 40 light years would take 40 years at the speed of light.
Just divide the speed of light by the distance.
A lightyear is the distance that light can travel in one year.
Like any distance, it depends on how fast you are going. At the speed of light it would take 4,000 years to travel that distance.
It takes light 40 years to travel a distance of 40 light years.
To calculate how long it takes light to travel a distance, you can use the formula: time = distance / speed. In this case, for a distance of 455 meters and a speed of 3108 meters per second, it would take approximately 0.147 seconds for light to travel that distance.
The speed of light is 300,000 km/second. If you divide the distance by this speed of light, you get the time in seconds: 1.28.
Well, it takes 2,700 years for light to travel that far. Anything travelling at half light-speed would take 5,400 years. At 1/4 light-speed, it would take 10,800 years.
Light takes about 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth.We have a misconception here, a light year is a unit of distance not time. This confusion is very common!
About 8 minutes 20 seconds at a distance of 93 million miles.
If you are asking how long it would take to travel the distance of 123.23 light years, then that would depend on how fast you are traveling. Because a light year is a measure of distance not time.
if you're asking "how long in years to travel 1 light year" you would have to know how fast you are traveling. a light year is a measure of distance that's equal to approximately six trillion miles...
It takes approx 194 seconds, or 3.23 minutes.
