None. In the absence of an extremely strong gravitational field, like that of a black hole, light will travel in a straight line. It cannot, therefore curve around the world.

In vacuum, in one second light can cover the distance equal to 7.5 times around the world.

How many time a beam of light can travel around the world in one second?

Light could travel seven and a half times around the world in one second.


7 times light tavels around the earth?

Light doesn't actually go around the Earth; light travels in generally straight lines. But if light DID go around the world, it could go around the world seven times in just less than one second.


How many times can light travel around the world in one second?

Light travels around the Earth approximately 7.5 times in one second, given that the Earth's circumference is about 40,075 kilometers and light travels at a speed of approximately 300,000 kilometers per second.


How fast does is the speed of light travel around the earth?

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). Light can travel around the Earth's equator about 7.5 times in one second.


How fast can light travel around the world?

Light travels at 300,000 km/sec. (in a vacuum). That is enough to go 7 1/2 times around the Earth in a second (but note that light has a natural tendency to go in a straight line).


How many times does light go around the world in a day?

Light does not go around the world. It travels in a straight line. For light to go around the world, it would have to periodically redirected using mirrors.


How fast can light travel around the world in a second?

The speed of light in air is approximately 350 meters/second. It is not constant; it depends on pressure, temperature, and humidity.


Why different times around the world?

because the sun sets at different times around the world


How long would it take light to traver around the world?

Light travels at approximately 186,282 miles per second. The circumference of the Earth is about 24,901 miles. Therefore, it would take light approximately 0.133 seconds to travel all the way around the Earth.


How long would it take to fly around the world at the speed of light?

About one-seventh of a second. But it would SEEM like it took no time at all.


A what rate do light waves travel?

300,000 kilometres per second, or 186,000 Miles per Second, or 11,160,000 Miles per minute, or 669,600,000 Miles per Hour (Thats six hundred and sixty nine million, six hundred thousand miles per hour) It's also like 7 times around the world in a second!


Is one light year 10 trillion times round the world?

No, it is actually less than that. A light year is about 5.9 trillion miles. Earth's circumference at the equator is about 25,000 miles. So a light year would be equivalent to going around the world about 240 million times.
