Light travels at a rate of approximately 186,000 miles per second. The North Star is approximately 460 light-years away from Earth. (A light-year is the distance light travels in one year.) How many yearswould it take a rockettraveling at 1 billion miles per hour to reach the North Star?

0.0017 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of North Star from Earth = 460 light years

A light year is the distance traveled by light in one year.

As per given statement:

Distance traveled by light in one second = 18600 miles

Distance traveled by light in one year () = 18600 31536000 miles = 14506560000 = 14.51 miles

We know that:

1 billion =

Therefore, 14.51 miles = 14.51 billion miles

Also, it is given that speed of rocket = 1 billion miles per hour

Formula to represent relationship between Speed, Distance and Time is given as:

OR

0.0017 years
