It is known that the diameter of the Milky way is 80000 light-years. Now the fastest spacecraft of mankind is the space shuttle. Its speed is 8000 meters per second How many seconds does it take to fly from one end to the other?

Almost 10 ^ 17 seconds, three billion years



The distance between the nearest star and the sun is 4.22 light years. The diameter of the Milky way is about 100000 light years, and the depth of the universe observed by human beings has reached 15 billion light years
How many kilometers are these distances equal to?
The speed of light in vacuum is C = 299792.458km/s
1 year = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365.25 seconds
1 light year = 9.46 trillion km


The nearest star to the sun is 39924282594290.98 km
The diameter of the galaxy is 9460730472580000 km
The depth of the universe observed by human beings is 1419109570887119700000km



The Milky way is a group of stars that revolve around the solar system
Am I right?


It's wrong upstairs. Now it's the eight planets. Pluto's not doing well. He's fired
The Milky way is indeed a group of stars made up of many stars. It is also called a galaxy. Every star has its own gravitational circle. Therefore, it does not revolve around the sun. To be correct, all the stars in the Milky Way revolve around the center of the galaxy
