In this video, NASA gives us a perception of the speed of light, showing how slow that speed can feel, contrary to what we might think.
According to their calculation, here are the figures for the speed of light:
- In one second, light can travel around Earth 7.5 times (the speed of optical fiber)
- From Earth to the Moon: 384,000 km traveled in 1.3 seconds
- From Earth to Mars: 54.6 million km traveled in 3 min and 2 sec
- From Earth to Jupiter: 590 million km traveled in 53 minutes
- From Earth to Pluto: 5,800 million km traveled in 5 hours
- From Earth to the nearest star: about 40 million million km in 4 years
- From Earth to Andromeda: forget it....
