It takes light 40 years to travel a distance of 40 light years.
5,865,696,000,000,000 miles. 5 quadrillion 865 trillion 696 billion miles.
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is approximately 93 million miles (about 150 million kilometers). At the speed of light, it would take light 500 seconds to travel this distance. This is because light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second or 299,792 kilometers per second.
A ray of light can travel in any direction, so an infinite number.
About 0.3 meters in a vacuum. Divide that by 1.0003 to get the distance in meters per nanosecond through air. Divide by 1.5 for glass.
40 light years is equivalent to approximately 235 trillion human years.
A light-year is a distance, not a year. 16 light-years is the distance light can travel in 16 years - 94,058,003,200,000 miles.
Light years is a measure for distance, the distance light travels in one year. For the light to travel 587 light years, it takes 587 years.
One light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is approximately 5.88 trillion miles. Therefore, to travel a distance equivalent to 2.5 Earth years, you would need to travel about 2.5 light years, which is roughly 14.7 trillion miles.
The distance from the Moon to Earth is a little more than one light-SECOND, meaning it takes light a little over a second to travel that distance.
I think what you are asking is how many hours it takes light to travel 310 light-years. If that is what you meant, then it takes light about 2,717,460 hours to travel 310 light-years. 310 x 365.25 x 24
It depends on the distance of the star to Earth. The distance to the star in light years is the number of years the light took to get here. Most of the stars we see at night are within a few hundred light years of Earth. The closest star other than the sun is about 4.2 light years away.
It depends on your speed. A ray of light travels the distance in about eight and a half minutes. The distance can be represented as 149,637,000 kilometers. A car going at 90 kilometers/hour will travel the distance in 69277 days (about 190 years). An airplane going at 800 kilometers/hour will travel the distance in only 7794 days (21.4 years).
A light-year is a measure of distance, not time as many people mistakenly believe. One light-year is the distance light can travel in one year in the vacuum of space. One light-year equates to 5.8785 trillion miles.
The distance of one light year, in light years, is exactly 1.
A light year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the distance light travels in a year.
Zero. Light years are a measure of distance, not time.
Light years is a term that actually measures distance.
