No.


Has light originating outside of earth been tested for speed?

Light from stellar sources will travel at the same speed as light generated on earth.


For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?

It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.


What is the equation for the travel time to the nearest star at the speed of light?

The formula to calculate travel time at the speed of light is distance divided by the speed of light. The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.24 light-years away. Therefore, the travel time to Proxima Centauri at the speed of light would be 4.24 years.


How does light travel from the sun to the earth?

Light from the sun travels to Earth through the vacuum of space as electromagnetic radiation. This radiation consists of photons, which are particles of light that travel in straight lines at the speed of light. The light reaches Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.


What is the speed of light can anything else travel closer to the speed of light?

What is the speed of light? About 300,000,000 meters per second - enough to travel all around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Can anything travel nearly as fast? - Yes, in particle accelerators particles are regularly accelerated to over 99% of the speed of light. According to current scientific understanding: (a) it is not possible to transfer matter, energy, or information faster than the speed of light. (b) An object that regularly travels at a slower speed can't be made to travel at the speed of light - it can only approach it. (A photon, that is, a speed of light, can only travel at the speed of light.)


Can a person travel at a speed of light?

No. Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light.


What was the initial time period from sun to earth?

Light energy in the form of photons, which travel at the speed of Light [298,000 km/sec] take eight minutes to travel from Sol to Earth. Is this the Answer that you are looking for?


How much time would pass on Earth if I traveled at the speed of light for a year?

If you were to travel at the speed of light for a year, no time would pass for you, but approximately one year would pass on Earth.


How fast does light travel to Jupiter?

Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second. The time it takes for light to travel to Jupiter depends on the distance between Earth and Jupiter, which varies as they orbit the sun. On average, light takes about 33 minutes to travel from Earth to Jupiter when they are at their closest approach.


What makes light waves change speed as they travel from the sun to the Earth's surface?

Light has a single speed in a vacuum - which is almost 300,000 kilometers per second. Once light enters Earth's atmosphere, it will be slightly slower.


If nothing can surpass the speed of light in the Universe how is it possible that light on Earth can travel at the speed of light if Earth itself is moving at millions of km per second?

I say millions because of the estimations I found for the speed of Earth around the sun, the speed of the solar system through the Milky way and the speed of the milky way through the universe.
