  1. It travels one light day, which is a little under 1/365 of a light year.

    :p


  2. Light travels about 330,000 kilometers per second and there are 60*60*24=86400 seconds in a day. So in one earth-day light travels 25,920,000,000 km i.e. 26 billion kilometers or 15 billion miles.

    This is almost 6 times the distance between the sun and Neptune.

  3. Speed of light is: 299, 792,458 m/s

    You can do the math.

  4. Depends on how you clarify a "day". Is that 24 hours? or Sun-up to Sun-down? Which planet would you calculate on? Pluto is vastlly smaller than Earth

    Anyway, just funning with you, the speed of light doesn't change,

    Tthe speed of light in a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second.

    So, grab a calculater. You do realise that you could have found this information yourself if you had just tried, don't you.
