How far is 490 light years?

It's a complicated question. In distance it's about 3,000,000,000,000,000 miles. However if you could travel at or around the speed of light you would bend space time and get there relatively quick.


How long would take to travel 490 light years with current technology?

It wouldn't be possible using our current technology; with our current technology, it takes 10 years to get outside our own solar system. With technology that we could reasonably develop within the next 50 years, it should be possible to create a spacecraft that could travel 490 light years in ONLY 5,000 years or so. We know the basic principles for an Orion Nuclear Pulse Rocket, but it would be phenomenally expensive and impractical to build one to go 490 light years. The first such spacecraft will travel to much nearer stars.


How far do the sun's rays travel to hit the Earth?

The average distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). The sun's rays travel this distance through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth and provide light and heat.


What is the distance between the Earth and the Sun in both meters and feet?

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 149.6 million kilometers, which is approximately 93 million miles. In meters, this distance is about 149.6 billion meters, and in feet, it is about 490 million feet.


What kind of energy from the sun helps people see?

Electromagnetic radiation between 490-790 terahertz, or about 390-700 nanometers wavelength.
