Light travels at a speed which is about a illion ties faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 k, but sound travels only 0.334 k. You can get soe idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand soe distance away fro the starter, you can see soke coe fro his gun before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces soe strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 inutes to reach us.

In soe cases, the light fro one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say, “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. T hey were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”
