Answer:


d=7.77* 10^(13)\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the speed of light is equal to
3* 10^8\ m/s

We need to find how far the light travel in 3 days.

Speed of an object is equal to distance covered divided by time taken.

Also, 1 day = 86400 s

3 days = 259200 s

So,


d=vt


d=3* 10^8* 259200\\\\d=7.77* 10^(13)\ m

So, the light will travel
7.77* 10^(13)\ m in 3 days.
