@connorastro: Voyager 1 will reach one light-day from Earth on November 18, 2026, meaning it will be about 25.9 billion km (16.1 billion miles) away. A light-day is simply the distance light travels in one day, so it takes light 24 hours to cross that distance. Voyager 1 has taken nearly 49 years to travel that far since its launch in 1977, moving at around 17 km/s. #spacethings #funfacts #viral #Science #Astronomy

Pretty insane that WE made something that would take light (THE FASTEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE) an entire 24 hours to get to. insane.

explanation One day is 24 hrs multiplied by 60 to get total minutes and another 60 to get total seconds per day which is 86,400. Now. 86, 400 × 299 792 458 (distance of light in meters per second) Hence, 25,902,068,371,200 ÷ 1000 to get 25,902,068,371.2 km or 16,098,240,131.26 Miles (one light day )

TyrantReaper :
Here how light days work so basically it means if you were traveling at the speed of light it takes one day on earth for you to arrive which is impossible to do since light travels fast if you to try to search up how long is a light day it would say a day due to the fact you never specified how fast you are going so search the speed you think is the speed we can go and say by traveling at that speed how long would it take for us to travel 1 light day

Friendly reminder that one light day is equal to 259,2*10⁹ kilometers or 161 billion miles

As a reminder, the nearest star system is four light-years away. Voyager 1 would need 40,000 to 74,000 years to reach the next star system.
