Divide the distance by the speed of light. If you express the speed of light in miles/second, the answer will be in seconds.

How long will it take to travel 25 trillion miles at the speed of light?

25 trillion miles is about 4.25 light-years. As such, it will take about 4.25 years to travel 25 trillion miles at the speed of light.


How long does it take light travel one trillion miles?

Approximately two months.


How big is a lightyear?

Light can travel about 6 trillion miles in a year, so that distance is called a light-year.


How many trillion miles long is a light-year?

About 5.88 trillion miles


How long would take a light to travel 11 trillion miles?

One light year is about 6 trillion miles. So if we calculate the amount of light years, we can calculate the amount of years. In order to figure out the number of light years, we divide 11 by 6, adding trillion to our answer (6 because 1 light year is 6 trillion miles). 11 divided by 6 is about 1.83 (or 1.83 trillion). So, in conclusion, it would take light 1.83 years to travel 11 trillion miles. Another way to solve this is simply calculating the amount of time it would take light to travel 1 trillion miles and multiply that by 11. So you divide 365 (the amount of days in a year) by 6 you get 60. It would take light 60 days for light to travel 1 trillion miles. 60 times 11 is 660, so it would take 660 days (or 1.8 years) for light to travel 11 trillion miles.


How long does it take a light to travel one trillion miles?

Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second and so divide this into 1,000,000,000,000 which is about 5,376,344 seconds


How long does it take to travel six trillion miles?

At the speed of light, about 1.02 years.At any other speed, 6 trillion/your speed in mph hours.


How long would it take for light to travel in nine years?

One light year is around 10 trillion km or 6 trillion miles. Nine lightyears would be 90 trillion km or 54 trillion miles. You would generally just say nine lightyears though.


How many miles long is a light year?

A light year is approximately seven trillion miles.


How long in years would take to travel 57 trillion km in light years?

Light years is not a time, it is a distance. It takes light about 6.025 years to travel 57 trillion km. In other words, 57 trillion km = 6.025 light years.


How long does it take to travel 4.6 trillion miles?

It depends on your speed. Even at the speed of light this trip would take at least 9.4 months.
