Question

Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance light travels in one year.

Answer 1

With that information you can calculate the distance that ligth travels in a year:


V = d / t => d = V * t


V = 982,080,000 ft/s


t = 32,000,000 s


=> d = 982,080,000 ft /s * 32,000,000 s = 31,426,560,000,000,000 ft


That is the number of feet the light travels in a year.
