What is Hubble's constant in light years?

Answer 1

Hunter Arthur

Hubble constant #H_o = 71# km /sec/mega parsec = #4.5 X 10^(-12)# light year/sec/mega parsec.

Hubble constant #H_o = 71# km /sec/mega parsec

71 kilometers

#= 71/499792=1.42 X 10^(-4)# light seconds

#=1.42 X 10^(-4)/(365.256 X 24 X 60 X 60)#

# = 4.5 X 10^(-12)# light years.

S0, #H_o = 4.5X 10^(-12)# light years/sec/mega parsec.. .

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
