Alpha Centauri is the nearest star system to the Sun, 4.3 light years from here. Assuming that the astronauts finish the journey traveling at the speed of light, how much total time will elapse on their journey

Respuesta :

If the journey is from here to Alpha Centauri, the time elapsed on their journey is 4.3 years

What is a light-year?

We define a light-year as the distance that the light moves in one year of time.

So, if someplace is at X light-years from here, it means that, at the speed of light, you would need to travel for X years to reach there.

From that, we can conclude that to reach Alpha Centaury traveling at the speed of light you need to travel for 4.3 years. So the time elapsed on the journey is 4.3 years.
