The speed of light is 670,616,629.4 miles per hour. One light year is the distance light travels in one year. A light year is about 5.879×10 to the 12th power mi. (this format won't let me put the superscript of 12 on the 10). The two years is not relevant to the question. Just multiply 70 (70,000,000) million by the above number (5.879×10 to the 12th power mi or 5,879,000,000,000 mi) and you'll know, within reason, how many miles it travels in the 2 years. The answer I'll let you calculate. Hey, you have to do some of the work. Johnathan (Went from my head. You can check the figures in the wikipedia, online).
