Hoping someone can help me out. Im too dumb to work it out
How long would it take a 747 to fly 1 light year?
Is it about 125,000 years?

Cheers mate,
i googled it (again) and still couldnt find it anywhere. Guess nobody has posted an article on it in the last 20 minutes. I will google it again in another 20 minutes
The distance traveled in a light year is 5,800,000,000,000 miles and the Boeing 747 has a max speed of 540 mph so that would be 5.8 trill divided by 570=10175438596.5 and then converted from days to years would be roughly 1161579ish/ So 1.1 million years to travel one light year. I hope this helps you.

5,800,000,000,000 miles/540 miles per hour means it would take 10740740740.740 hours. Divide that by 24 and it takes 447,530,864 days which is actually 1,226,111 years (approximately with rounding). But of course to accomplish that they would need one hell of a fucking gas tank
omg 1.1 million 1.2 million if you want science go to...oh shit you're banned already.
free the sizzle!
You need to divide by 365.25 not 365 for days to years btw.
Also, this is a flawed question on many levels.
Indeed. The 747 would never get there anyway. Zeno will tell you that much.Quote:

A lot longer if it flies near Malaysia.
rofl yall niggas dumb 747 travels 2592000 km a day just sitting on the earth as it rotates around the sun so X = (9.4605284 * 10 to the 12th power) / 2592000
As a side note, 'How the universe works' was really good this week.
False. Those 747s travel 828,000 km/hour due to the rotation of the Milky Way.Quote:
