How long is 1 trillion miles?

Answer 1

When you see a galaxy that is 1 billion light years away, the light that's dribbling into your eye

left that galaxy 1 billion years ago, and has been traveling toward you ever since then.

If you just happen to see the galaxy explode or turn blue while you're watching it, you'll know

that it actually exploded or turned blue 1 billion years ago.

Similarly, if the galaxy explodes or turns green tonight, you won't know about that for another

1 billion years from tonight.

One billion light years is about 5,878,700,000,000,000,000,000 miles. (rounded to the nearest hundred trillion miles)

Answer 2

That's the distance that light travels through vacuum in 1 billion years.

When rounded, it's equivalent to

5,878,450,000,000,000,000,000 miles, or

9,460,450,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers.

Answer 3

Approximately 5.84e+21 miles

Or

58,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles (19 0s to be exact).

Answer 4

1 trillion miles is equivalent to about 1.6 trillion kilometers or approximately 6 light-hours.

Answer 5

A long way...

Answer 6

It's too many numbers to type.
