How long would it take to get to Saturn? At its closest, Saturn is 1.2 billion kilometers away from Earth. So with today’s spacecraft technology, you’ll need about eight years to make the trip. How long would it take to get...
Can a human travel to Pluto? Simply put, slowing down and orbiting Pluto is nearly impossible if you want to get there in a reasonable amount of time. The planet’s gravity is so weak that a spacecraft pulling into orbit would...
Why does it take 4 years to get to Mars? How long does it take? It takes the Earth one year to orbit the Sun and it takes Mars about 1.9 years ( say 2 years for easy calculation ) to...
How long would it take to reach the Sun at light speed? Other Galaxies Object Time for the Light to Reach Us The Sun 8 minutes Jupiter 35 to 52 minutes Pluto 5 1/2 hours (on average) Alpha Centauri (nearest star...
How long does it take to get to Pluto in a spaceship? The $720 million New Horizons mission launched in January 2006, speeding away from Earth at a record-breaking 36,400 mph (58,580 km/h). Even at that blistering pace, it still took...
How long would it take to get to Neptune at the speed of light? The time it takes for light to reach planets in our Solar System (not the Milky Way, which is our galaxy) varies from about 3 minutes for...
How long would it take humans to get to Pluto? So how long does it take to get to Pluto? Roughly 9-12 years. You could probably get there faster, but then you’d get less science done, and it probably wouldn’t be...
How long would it take us to get to the next galaxy? To get to the closest galaxy to ours, the Canis Major Dwarf, at Voyager’s speed, it would take approximately 749,000,000 years to travel the distance of 25,000 light years!...
How many galaxies are in our universe? If we made the most straightforward estimate using today’s best technology, we’d state there are 170 billion galaxies in our Universe. But we know more than that, and our modern estimate is even grander:...
