If you were traveling at the speed of light, how long would it take you to travel to the nearest star outside of our solar system?

Answers

Answered by anubha9157

It is traveling away from the Sun at a rate of 17.3 km/s. If Voyager were to travel to Proxima Centauri, at this rate, it would take over 73,000 years to arrive. If we could travel at the speed of light, an impossibility due to Special Relativity, it would still take 4.22 years to arrive!
