Owlt (Noun)

Meaning

The elapsed time it takes for light (or radio signals) to travel between the Earth and a celestial object.

Classification

Nouns denoting time and temporal relations.

Examples

  • The astronomers calculated the owlt to the distant planet to be approximately 20 minutes, which meant that the signal they received was delayed by that amount.
  • The spacecraft's communication system had to account for the varying owlt as it traveled to different parts of the solar system.
  • The owlt to the moon is about 1.3 seconds, which is why there's a delay between the time a command is sent and the time it's executed.
  • The scientists had to carefully consider the owlt to the distant star when planning their observations to ensure they were looking at the correct position.
  • The owlt to Mars varies as the two planets move in their orbits, which affects the timing of communication between the two planets.
