Key numbers used Voyager 1 speed ≈ 17 km/s (typical quoted value). 1 astronomical unit (AU) = 149,597,870.7 km. 1 year ≈ 365.25 days and 1 day = 86,400 seconds. Convert Voyager speed to AU per year (digit-by-digit) Seconds per year = 86,400 × 365.25 = 31,557,600 s. Distance per year = 17 km/s × 31,557,600 s = 536,479,200 km/year. …
