It would take approximately 365.25 days to travel one light-year at the speed of light.
Here's why:
- Light-year: A light-year is the distance light travels in one year.
- Speed of light: Light travels at approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.
- Time: Since a light-year represents the distance traveled in a year, it takes one year to travel one light-year at the speed of light.
However, it's important to note that:
- Current technology: We currently lack the technology to travel at the speed of light.
- Time dilation: According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time slows down for objects traveling at speeds close to the speed of light. This means that for a traveler moving at near-light speed, the journey would feel shorter than 365.25 days.
Therefore, while it takes one year to travel one light-year at the speed of light, it's not a practical measure for current space travel.
