29 wrz 2020 · In fact, if you were traveling at the speed of light from Earth towards Jupiter, you would reach the gas giant in around 43 light minutes. In light-years, the Sun is 0.00001581 light-years away from Earth, and as such, it would take you eight light minutes to reach it.
18 maj 2020 · For much greater distances — interstellar distances — astronomers use light years. A light year is the distance a photon of light travels in one year, which is about 6 trillion miles (9 trillion kilometers, or 63,000 AU).
18 maj 2020 · And because light from objects travels at light speed, when you see the Sun, or Jupiter or a distant star, you're seeing it as it was when the light left it, be that 8 minutes, tens of minutes or 4.3 years ago.
1 lis 2014 · Using our model Earth and Jupiter atmospheres, we simulated the flux as seen from our observer at 10 light-years distance with a 10-m diameter telescope and compared these with the solar flux.
8 paź 2019 · The Astronomical units (AU) column is the average distance between Earth and the Sun and is the most common way for scientists to measure distance in our Solar System. Below is a table of the distances between each of the planets in our solar system.
3 dni temu · Observations of the Jovian upper atmosphere at high latitudes in the UV, IR and mm/sub-mm all indicate that the chemical distributions and thermal structure are broadly influenced by auroral particle precipitations. Mid-IR and UV observations have shown that several light hydrocarbons (up to 6 carbon atoms) have altered abundances near Jupiter’s main auroral ovals. Ion-neutral reactions ...
12 gru 2011 · The time varies over a range of about 16 minutes depending on the relative positions of Earth and the target planet in their orbits; Earth can be 8 light-minutes closer than the Sun is, or 8 light-minutes farther away.
