i dont think you can answer that quite exactly the way you asked it, SolarShine... a light year is a unit of length, equal to the distance a light particle travels in one year's time, moving at a constant velocity of c, or 299,792,458 metres per second (186,000 miles per second). one light year is equal to about 5,865,696,000,000 miles. if you are asking how many standard earth years (365 days) it would take (at 17,500 miles per hour), its about 20.29 years.

Speed of light=186,000 miles per second=669,600,000 miles per hour. Even with this speed, there is something more powerful... a black hole, the only place that light can not escape from due to gravity.
