What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
I don't believe the Earth you and I are standing on exists no matter what the scientists and astronauts say.If rain fell up on the other side of the Earth I'd agree with you....
A light year is the speed light will travel in a years time. Theoretically nothing will travel faster than light. It travels at 186,282 miles per secondIs light years a measure of distance or time?
It is hard to believe but in a vacuum light can cover the distance of 186,282 miles. Light acts like both waves and particles. Most agree that light is made of photon particles that travel in wave patterns.For whatever reason I remember that light speed 186,282 miles per second. But if you're driving at night doing, say, 100 mph (I do that sometimes ) then turn your headlights on...is the speed of light now 186,282.028 miles per second?
Light is indeed a strange or curious thing...It is hard to believe but in a vacuum light can cover the distance of 186,282 miles. Light acts like both waves and particles. Most agree that light is made of photon particles that travel in wave patterns.
"To give you an idea as to how fast light is, we'll give you some examples. The Sun is almost 93 million miles from the Earth. It takes around 8 minutes for light to get from the Sun to the Earth. It takes around 1.3 seconds for light to go from the moon to the Earth. Source of quote is below."

False. You are repeating the lies that godless scientists indoctrinate the modern day science. No way of knowing, no way of measuring.A light year is the speed light will travel in a years time. Theoretically nothing will travel faster than light. It travels at 186,282 miles per second
What about measuring how long it takes light to get from known distance point a to b then extrapolating how far it goes in a year makes a person Godless?False. You are repeating the lies that godless scientists indoctrinate the modern day science. No way of knowing, no way of measuring.
