How long would it take for it to get from the sun to alpha centauri travelling at 1516 times the speed of light?
Just because you NEED something by a certain time does not prompt users to actually answer your question.
However, I'll give a few pointers.
Depending on which part of Alpha Centauri you intend to go to, there are three stars with different distances.
- Alpha centauri A - about 4.365 light years from us.
- Alpha centauri B - about 4.364 light years from us.
- Alpha centauri C - about 4.243 light years from us.
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.
At 1,516 the speed of light is 454,485,366,328 meters per second.
So all you have to do is calculate which Alpha Centauri you want to go to and divide the distance by the new speed.
What else can I help you with?
If you were travelling thought space at 70000 kilometers per hour how long it take to get to the star system Alpha Centauri?
Assuming that you start from earth, travelling that slowly to Alpha Centauri would take quite a bit of time. Alpha Centauri's about 4.367 light years away, which means at the suggested speed of 70,000 kilometers per hour, it would take you 673.26 centuries to get there. You definitely want to go much faster to get there.
How long to alpha centauri at light speed?
About 4 years 5 months even at the speed of light.
If you traviled at the speed of light how long would if take to get to Alpha Centauri?
4.37 years.
How long does it take light to travel from Alpha Centaury the nearests star to your sun to your solar system?
4.3 light years===========================Sorry. "Light year" is an answer to "how far", not "how long".Alpha Centauri is about 4.4 light years away from our solar system and everything in it,which means that it takes AC's light about 4.3 years to get here.
How long does it take a starship traveling at half the speed of light to get to Alpha Centauri?
First of all, there has never yet been any such thing known to earth as a starship. If an object left Cape Canaveral at 1/2 the speed of light, and maintained a straight-line course toward the place where Alpha Centauri would be when it got there, it would reach Alpha Centauri after the clock on the launch-pad had ticked off 8.8 years.
What is farther from Earth Alpha centauri or the sun?
That's actually an easy calculation, if you state the problem correctly. Alpha Centauri is about 4.5 light years away. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.24 days in a year. Multiply all those numbers together to find out how many light-seconds it is to Alpha Centauri. The Moon is about 1.5 light seconds away, so divide by that to get the ratio.
If you were moving at the speed of light how long would it take you to get to the Alpha Centauri?

Which is the closest star to earth not counting the sun?
The closest star to earth is the sun. The next closest is a red dwarf star called Proxima Centauri, much further away. The sun is around 8 minutes away at the speed of light, while Proxima Centauri is around 4.2 years away at the speed of light (light years).
Suppose you would want to reach the star Alpha Centauri in 130 years how fast would you have to travel?
Alpha Centauri is approximately 4.37 light-years away from Earth. To reach it in 130 years, you would need to travel at an average speed of about 0.033 light-years per year, or roughly 3.3% of the speed of light. This speed is significantly faster than any current spacecraft, highlighting the challenges of interstellar travel.
Why would it take long for alpha centauri light to reach earth?
Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light-years away from Earth, which means it takes light, the fastest thing in the universe, 4.37 years to travel that distance. Although light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second, the vastness of space makes this journey take years.
How old is Alpha Centauri compared to the Sun?
Alpha Centuari is a star 4.4 light years away. Which is about 44 trillion km (44,000,000,000,000 km) or 44,000 Billion km. Its actually more like 42,479,700,000,000 km if you were exact.
How long would it take to get from earth to Alpha Centauri on the fictional starship Voyager?
Voyager's supposed maximum sustainable speed is "warp 9" which is assumed to be ( times the speed of light. Being that Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away from our sun then at warp 9 it would take 177.025 days, or approximately 6 months, to reach it. Chief Engineer Nerdberg, signing off.
