How long would it take to travel from one side of the universe to the other?

It’s Space Day, but traveling the vast entity that is space would take far longer than a single day. The nearest galaxy: 749,000,000 (that’s 749 million) years. The end of the known universe: 225,000,000,000,000 years (that’s 225 trillion) years.

How long would it take to get to the farthest galaxy?

around 225,000,000,000,000 years
Travel Time At the rate of 17.3 km/sec (the rate Voyager is traveling away from the Sun), it would take around 225,000,000,000,000 years to reach this distance.

How long would it take to travel across the Milky Way galaxy?

The Milky Way is a barred-spiral galaxy that is approximately 100,000 light years across, according to Space.com. This means an object traveling at the speed of light, which is the theoretical maximum speed for any object, would take a full 100,000 years to traverse the entire Milky Way galaxy.

How often does the Sun rotate around the Milky Way?

At our sun’s distance from the center of the Milky Way, it’s rotating once about every 225-250 million years – defined by the length of time the sun takes to orbit the center of the galaxy. Illustration of a rotating galaxy, with different parts of the galaxy revolving around the center at different rates.

How long does it take the Earth to orbit the Sun?

One orbit of the Earth takes one year. Meanwhile, our entire solar system – our sun with its family of planets, moon, asteroid and comets – orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Our sun and solar system move at about about 500,000 miles an hour (800,000 km/hr) in this huge orbit.

How long would it take to travel at the speed of light?

So it would take 25,000 years to get there if you traveled at the speed of light. Actually, that’s the amount of time it would take from the perspective of the outside world. From the perspective of a traveler moving at the speed of light, it would appear to take no time at all.
