Question 194313
Light travels at a speed of 3.05 x 108 meters per second (m/s). There are approximately 3.15 x 107s in a year. How far does light travel in 6 years?
-------------
It travels 6 light-years.
--------------------
6 light-years = 6*3.05E08*3.25E07 (E08 = *10^8)
= 6*3.05*3.25*10^15
= 59.475*10^15
= 5.9475*10^16 meters
= 5.9475*10^13 kilometers
