How long does it take to reach the sun?

Answer:
The Sun is approximately 93,000,000 miles (150,000,000 km) or 1 AU (Astronomical unit) from Earth.

Light would take 8.3 minutes.

Voyager 1 ~38,000 mph would reach the Sun in 101 days.

A Boeing 747 at cruising speed ~550 mph would take over 19 years.

An average car ~@ 70mph, would get you there 152 years later.

(… and require over 2.5 million gallons of fuel)

On a horse ~30 mph, it would be grey (and dead) 354 years later.

By foot: At ~3 mph, you would reach the Sun in - wait for it. 3,540 years.
