Question

The speed of light is 3 x 10 8 meters per second (m/s). What is the speed of light in miles per year (mi/yr)

Answer 1

Answer:

the  speed of light in miles per year is 5.88 × 10^12 mi / year

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the speed of light in miles per year is shown below;

As we know that

1 m/sec = 1 ÷ 1609  mi/sec

3 ×10^8 m/sec = (3 × 10^8) ÷ (1609)

= (3 × 10^8 × 60 × 60 × 24 × 365) ÷ (1609)

= 5.88 × 10^12 mi / year

Hence, the  speed of light in miles per year is 5.88 × 10^12 mi / year
