How long will voyager have to travel to equal the distance of One light year??
5.8 trillion miles.
About 14k years.
>>> How long will voyager have to travel to equal the distance of One light year??
The better question is how long would it take to reach the next star. We worked that out last year on a prior thread:
“” >>>Voyager 2 spacecraft, which is currently 8.6 billion miles (13.8 billion km) from Earth
If I did the math correctly
0.0014629270371999592 Light Years in 33 years.
And the next closest star is Alpha Centauri, at about 4.37 light-years distant.””
At that rate, 98,500 years. If it was even pointed towards that star, which it isn’t.
And long division would give you the rate for one LY.
