Traveling in Space

Traveling in Space

As is well known, travel means moving from one place to another. To travel anywhere, you first need to know the distance and direction. For transportation by land or by car, having a travel bag to reach the destination is necessary. These are earthly journeys. Space travel also requires these precautions even more. Distance in space travel is not measured in kilometers as it is on Earth. Distance in space is not measured in kilometers (Km) but in light-years.

The speed required to fly in space to reach the desired destination is not the same as that of an airplane or a car. To roll in space requires running at the amazing speed of light. The speed of light is the speed of what is called the ‘speed of light (C=3 X 108m/s). This is C=300,000km/s in kilometers. In other words, light can travel 300,000 kilometers per second from the earth to the sky. On the other hand, light can travel the distance of the entire earth seven times per second.

So it is only up to you and your generation to ask yourself and others how this device can be invented. If such a spacecraft is not developed, however, it is not possible to travel long distances in space. Yet a contemporary device space civilizations have sharpened the creation of near-Earth objects, such as the moon. Thus, it is only possible to land on near-distance planets and not on distant ones. So far, it has been possible to land on the moon, because the moon(moon) is only 384,400km away.

This distance can be reached by light from the Earth in less than 1.5 seconds. But if we traveled this distance by 1000km/hr plane (jet), we would have traveled day and night and got there in 16 days. If we use a rocket at 8km/s and roll it, we can land on the moon in 13 hours(13hrs). The only object in the solar system that is close to the Earth is the moon. The planet ‘Mars’ )is 54.6 million kilometers (54.6 million km) away.

 The sun is 150 million kilometers (150 million km) away from the earth it takes 8.3 minutes(8.3minutes) to reach. In general, the Sun, Mars, and Earth, including the Moon, are located in the solar system. The word solar also refers to the sun. This means that all objects around the sun are called those in the solar system.
