it would take about $170,243,286,935 to reach the moon proven by M.I.T
How many one dollar bills does it take to reach the moon?
It took $170,000,000,000 (2005) to reach the moon through the Apollo Program. But it would take 38902 dollar bills lined up end to end to reach the moon
How many dollar bills does it take to reach the moon?
alot
How many lightyears are you away from Jupiter?
Well the Moon is 1 light second away from earth ( meaning if you were moving at the speed of light you would reach and pass the moon in 1 second ) and the Sun is about 8 light minutes away from us. Jupiter is maybe 4 light minutes?
How much Time light takes to travel from sun to moon?
I believe it takes light from the sun about seven minutes to reach earth and moon. And light travels at 186,000 miles pre second !
How long does it take for the moon to get light?
The Moon has no light of its own, it shines because the Sun's light is illuminating it. It takes the light from the Sun about 8 minutes to reach the Moon and 1.27 seconds to bounce off the Moon to your eyes. As the Moon orbits the Earth every 27 days, there are 27 days between one Full Moon and the next.
Why is it not possible to travel faster than the speed of light?
because nothing is faster than light. for example let's say it's a clear night and you have a flashlight with you if you take your flashlight and aim it at the moon it would reach the moon in 8 minutes, try to see if you could get to the moon in 8 minutes
The time it takes for sunlight to be reflected from the moon to earth?
Light from the sun takes about 81/3 minutes to reach the moon, and if it bounces off the moon in the direction of Earth, another 1.27 seconds from the moon to Earth.
Why does it take longer for light to reach earth then the time it takes light reflections off the moon to get to earth?
It doesn't. If the light reflecting off of the moon is what's reaching you first...then it's night time. The above answers is incorrect as u can see the moon during the day as well..... This is a little more complicated than you think. Firstly it takes about 8 minutes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth, and a second or so for it to reach the Moon. The light being reflected back to you from the moon is actually light from the Sun. So Light from Sun to Earth 8 minutes ( i am using round figures ) to the moon 8 minutes 1 second. Light from the Moon to the Earth is 1 sec. However the light your are seeing is 8 minutes and 2 seconds old, not 1 second. The reason you think it is quicker is because the Moon is closer to the Earth, its kind of a trick question. Or part of the time, the moon is closer to the sun than the Earth is. Like this morning when looking to the East just before sunrise, I saw a crescent moon. The light from the sun arrived at the moon first, then reflected to us. In this case, that path of light would be approximately the same distance as a beam of light directly from the sun.
Does the light of the sun reach the earth?
Yes - the light takes approximately 8 minutes 20 seconds to hit the earth surface. In addition the Moon reflects the suns light so we see "moon light" which of course is in actual fact reflected sunlight
How does the light from the moon reach the earth?
The moon does not emit light, rather it reflects it. The light from the sun shines on the moon, and it is reflected to earth.
How long does it take for light to travel from the sun to the moon then to the earth?
It takes about 8 and one third minutes to get to the Moon. From the Moon to the Earth only takes a second or so. Of course the light may reach the Earth first, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth, but it hardly makes any difference.
How does light reach the full moon?
The light from the sun reflects light to the full moon as the sun is always just opposite the full moon except during the new moon time, where there is no moon to be seen.
Can the laser light reach the moon?
Yes , laser lights easily reach the moon. It should take about 1.3 seconds to reach it. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. Light travels at a constant 186,000 per second. So the math is easy.
How long does it take light to get fromthe sun to the moon?
Most likely the same time it takes our sun's light to reach the earth, roughly eight minutes. It might arrive a little earlier or a little later, depending on where the moon is in it's rotation around the earth.
