Light travels at precisely <span>299,792,458 metres every second (abbreviated to 3 x 10^8 metres every second but let's be precise) There are 60 seconds in every minute (</span><span>299 792 458 x 60 = 17,987,547,480m) 60 minutes in every hour (17,987,547,480 x 60 = 1,079,252,849,000m) 96 hours in 4 days (</span><span>1,079,252,849,000 x 96 = 10,360,827,350,000m) </span><span>Now let's convert to km to make this number (slightly) more manageable (</span>10,360,827,350,000 / 1000 = <span>103,608,273,500km) </span>Light travels <span>103,608,273,500km in 4 days - that's the equivalent of going around the equator of the earth 813,124 times!</span><span>
