Question
Explain why spacecraft take longer to reach the moon than light?
✓

Answer

  1. The astronomical object closest to earth is the moon.
  2. Light takes 1s to reach from the moon to the earth. It means that if one travels at the speed of light, it will take 1 s to reach the moon.
  3. Hence, as spacecraft travels at a much smaller speed, it takes a longer time to reach the moon.
