How long would it take for speed of light to travel a quintillion miles?
CharlesHemmelgarn
The speed of light doesn't travel at all. It just lays there, typically
on a printed page in a book.
If an object is traveling at the speed of light, however, then it's a
completely different story. Such an object would cover 1 quintillion
miles in only 170,108 years (rounded).

How long would it take for the speed of light to travel a quintillon miles?
The speed of light doesn't travel anywhere. However, light itself, traveling through vacuum at the speed of light, covers 1 quintillion miles in about 170,108 years. That's less than 7 percent of the distance to the nearest galaxy. (Note: The American definition of 'quintillion' is used . . . 1 x 1018 . Using the British definition of the same word (1030), the answer is the same, only 1 trillion times bigger.)

distance = speed x time. Multiply the speed of light (in miles/second in this case) by the time in seconds, to get the distance travel in miles.

If the speed of light is 186200 mi sec how far will a point of light travel in a year?
Light moves at 186,200,000,000 miles per second (trillions) not 186,200(thousands). We call this distance "a light year" or if you need to know it is 5,859,937,440,000,000,000 miles. The number is about 5.86 Quintillion.
