How much time does it take 2 billion light years light to travel to Earth?

2 billion years.


How long would it take to get to the crab nebula from earth?

well the crab nebula is about 6,500 light years away so it would take 6,500 years to get there at the speed of light but we do not have any space craft that travel at that speed so it would take over a billion if not trillion years to get there!


How long would it take to travle 20 million light years?

Traveling 20 million light years at the speed of light would take 20 million years. Since we do not currently have technology that can travel at the speed of light, it would take much longer using current spacecraft technology.


How long would it take to travel 600 million light years?

Traveling 600 million light years would take an impossibly long time, considering the current limits of our technology. Even traveling at the speed of light (which is not feasible for matter with mass), it would still take 600 million years to cover that distance. The vastness of space makes interstellar travel on such a scale unrealistic with our current knowledge and technology.


How many years does it take to travel through MILKY WAY?

It would take approximately 100,000 years to travel from one end of the Milky Way to the other at the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second. However, with current technology, it would take much longer to traverse the Milky Way.


How long would take to travel 490 light years with current technology?

It wouldn't be possible using our current technology; with our current technology, it takes 10 years to get outside our own solar system. With technology that we could reasonably develop within the next 50 years, it should be possible to create a spacecraft that could travel 490 light years in ONLY 5,000 years or so. We know the basic principles for an Orion Nuclear Pulse Rocket, but it would be phenomenally expensive and impractical to build one to go 490 light years. The first such spacecraft will travel to much nearer stars.


How much is 9.7 light years?

well it depends on what you are measuring your 'much' in. First thing is, a light year is a distance not a time. It is defined as the distance light would travel in the time of one human year. Now to define this: light travels at ~300000000ms-1 and there are 31536000s in one year, so light will travel: 300000000*31536000 = 9.5x1015 metres in one year (that is 95 followed by 14 zeros! so a long distance) so in 9.7 light years light will travel 9.2x1016 metres. Which is a very very long distance.


How much time would it take to travel to the nearest galaxy with present resources?

Travelling at the speed of light, It would take about 2.5 million years. Travelling at conventional rocket speeds, it would take billions of years.


How much distance will an light travel when it is shone from an flash light?

It will contiunue to travel until it encounters something that absorbs it, even if that doesn't happen for a billion years. There is no limit to the distance.


How much time to travel moon?

It takes about 3 days to travel to the moon using current spacecraft technology.


How long would it take a car to travel one light year?

It would take a car traveling at 60 mph (96.5 km/h) approximately 19 million years to travel one light year, assuming it could travel at a constant speed without refueling or stopping. However, it's physically impossible for a car to travel at the speed of light, so it would actually take much longer.


How long would it take to get to Betelgeuse?

No one really knows, because no one has ever been to Betelgeuse. It would take much more time than getting to Pluto.
