And I wonder if “one light-day” would even be accepted as an answer.
- leoff 11mo agoThat's an incorrect answer. A light-day means "the distance covered by the speed of light in a day (24h)". The day length is related to Earth's turn speed, it's not related to its distance to the sun.
- ChadNauseam 11mo agoalso, a light-day is a unit of distance while the question asked about time.
- srean 11mo agoOne light-AU would be more like it.
- HWR_14 11mo ago> And I wonder if “one light-day” would even be accepted as an answer. Absolutely not. First, a light-day is a distance, not a unit of time. Second, Voyager 1 is almost 1 light day from the sun. The earth is approximately 0.5% of a light-day from the sun.
