Best Answer

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)

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.

It depends on where you live. In the short scale, 1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000, which would be 1 million millions. In In the long scale, 1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 which would be 1 (long scale) billion millions, or 1 (short scale) trillion millions.

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.
