How many minutes does light year travels?

Answer 1

If something in space is 10 light years away, we would only observe it as it was 10 years ago, as this is the time light has taken to reach us.

A light year is a distance not a time. It is the distance that light travels in a year (about 5865696000000 miles or 9385113600000 Kilometres) so you cannot ask how long ago is 10 light years away. That would be the same as asking how long ago is the bus station away.

Answer 2

Well, let's see: Speed of light = 300,000,000 meters/sec 1 minute = 60 sec Lightspeed x 60 sec = (300,000,000 x 60) = 18,000,000,000 meters = 18 million km = 11,177,000 miles.

Answer 3

Light travels at approximately 186,282 miles per second, which equates to about 5.88 trillion miles in a year (1 light year). In minutes, light travels approximately 186,282 miles in just one second.

Answer 4

Ten minutes is a measure of time. Light years are a measure of distance. Ten minutes cannot be expressed in light years.

Answer 5

These are not comparable. A light-year is a measure of distance, the distance that light travels in one year.

A minute is a measure of time.

Answer 6

a Lightyear is a unit of distance, so it can't travel.

Answer 7

A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. It is the distance that light travels in a year. It is about 5,869,713,600,000 miles or about 9,445,950,434,502 kilometres.

Answer 8

The comparison doesn't make sense, since a light-year is a unit of distance, and a minute is a unit of time.

Answer 9

1 light year = 525,948.766 light minutes.

Answer 10

A light minute is 11,160,000 miles.
