How many miles does light travel in fifteen years?

Answer 1

Oh, what a lovely question! Light travels about 5.88 trillion miles in just one year. So, if we multiply that by fifteen, we find that light travels approximately 88.2 trillion miles in fifteen years. Isn't that just amazing to think about?

Answer 2

Light travels at a speed of approximately 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum. To calculate how many miles light travels in fifteen years, we need to convert years to seconds. There are approximately 31,536,000 seconds in a year, so in fifteen years, there are 472,440,000 seconds. Multiplying the speed of light by the number of seconds in fifteen years gives us approximately 87.96 trillion miles.

Answer 3

Light can travel 5,869,713,600,000 miles in one year's time.
