How long does it take to get to the Moon in light-years?

The Moon is about 1.25 Light Seconds away from the earth as the reflected sunlight from the Moon takes about 1.25 seconds to reach the Earth. OR in terms of light years 3. 96×10−8 Light Years. How far is that in light-seconds? Light travels at 300,000 kilometres per second, so it takes about 1.3 seconds for light to travel from the Moon back to the Earth. In other words, the Moon is 1.3 light-seconds away from the Earth. Light travels at approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 km per second). Therefore, a light shining from the surface of Mars would take the following amount of time to reach Earth (or vice versa): Closest possible approach: 182 seconds, or 3.03 minutes. Closest recorded approach: 187 seconds, or 3.11 minutes. A light day is an astronomical unit of length. It is defined as the distance light travels in an absolute vacuum in one day (of 86,400 seconds) or 25,902,068,371,200 meters (~26 Tm). Since each lunation is approximately 291⁄2 days, it is common for the months of a lunar calendar to alternate between 29 and 30 days. Since the period of 12 such lunations, a lunar year, is 354 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes, 34 seconds (354.36707 days), purely lunar calendars are 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year.

How long is 1 minute in space?

How much time on earth is 1 hour in space? Around eight minutes and twenty seconds. You should do the math for one minute. 1 second in space is equal to 1 second in earth. Space time doesn’t move any faster than earth time so we use earth time for all of outer space. How far do you think light travels in a minute? To figure this out, multiply the distance that light travels in a second by 60 because there are 60 seconds in a minute. So light can travel 18,000,000 kilometers in one minute! This duration is a bit of a problem, as it makes space exploration a painstakingly slow process. Even if we hopped aboard the space shuttle discovery, which can travel 5 miles a second, it would take us about 37,200 years to go one light-year. To date, no astronaut has ever been ‘lost’ to space during one, but there have been a couple close calls.

How many galaxies are there?

The Hubble Deep Field, an extremely long exposure of a relatively empty part of the sky, provided evidence that there are about 125 billion (1.25×1011) galaxies in the observable universe. Our galaxy probably contains 100 to 400 billion stars, and is about 100,000 light-years across. While the spatial size of the entire universe is unknown, it is possible to measure the size of the observable universe, which is approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter at the present day. In a new study, Stanford physicists Andrei Linde and Vitaly Vanchurin have calculated the number of all possible universes, coming up with an answer of 10^10^16. Therefore, our universe is called the cosmos. Scientists have recently observed for the first time that, on an epigenetic level, astronauts age more slowly during long-term simulated space travel than they would have if their feet had been planted on Planet Earth.

Do you age faster on the Moon?

Scientists have recently observed for the first time that, on an epigenetic level, astronauts age more slowly during long-term simulated space travel than they would have if their feet had been planted on Planet Earth. It’s estimated that the heart, blood vessels, bones, and muscles deteriorate more than 10 times faster in space than by natural aging. It’s estimated that the heart, blood vessels, bones, and muscles deteriorate more than 10 times faster in space than by natural aging. Your age on other Planets You will age slowest on Mercury, Venus and Jupiter as they are slower than Earth. You will age a couple of minutes faster on Mars as it is less massive and has less gravity than Earth.
