Answer:

[tex]2.59\times 10^{13}\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

The speed of light is 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by it in one day.

1 day = 24 hours

1 day = 24 × 3600 seconds

= 86400 s

Now, using the formula of speed to find the distance covered as follows :

[tex]d=v\times t[/tex]

Putting all the values, we get :

[tex]d=3\times 10^8\ m/s\times 86400\ s\\\\d=2.59\times 10^{13}\ m[/tex]

Hence, light will cover [tex]2.59\times 10^{13}\ m[/tex] of distance in one day.
