40 light years is equivalent to a distance of about 235 trillion miles.
Light travels a distance of one light year in one year.
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.
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.
Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft 40 years to reach a star located 40 light-years away from Earth.
It means it has taken light 130 years to travel the distance. Light travels 5,878,630,000,000 miles in 1 year, so something 130 light years away, is a LONG way away.
It's exactly 7 light years away.One light year is the distance that light travels through space in one year.7 of those is a distance of something like 41,150,289,900,000 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.
The distance to Jupiter is better measured in light minutes. Depending on the relative positions in orbit the distance is anywhere between 30 and 70 light minutes. 0.000057 to 0.00013 light years
25,000 light years is a distance equal to 1.4696563 x 10^17 miles.
If you mean "How long does it take for light from Schedar to reach Earth?", then just use the formula: Distance equals speed times time, or more easily look up the distance in terms of lightyears. Wikipedia gives Schedar as being 228 LY's away...or it will take 228 years for the light to reach Earth.
8 million years. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.
The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter; it would take light about 100,000 years to cover the whole distance.
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.
Light Year is the distance that light travels in one year. Please rephrase your question.
scientists use light-years to measure long distances in space. a light year, (abrviated ly) is the distance light can travel.
That means that M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy) is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years, and that it takes the light 2.5 million years to get here. Light moves quickly, but not instantaneously.
