How long would it take to travel to sun from earth?

Answer 1

If you're driving at 70 miles an hour AND you go in a straight line,

AND you never stop, you can make it in just a little over 151 years.

If you're traveling at the speed of light, it takes a little over 8 minutes.

Answer 2

Light takes about 8 minutes to travel from Earth to the sun. The sun is about 93 million miles away, so it would take about 177 years to get to the sun in a car traveling at 60 miles per hour, and about 21.5 years to get to the sun in an airplane traveling at 500 miles per hour. (These are just comparisons; cars and airplanes don't travel in outer space.)

Answer 3

Well, that is a good question. I think that from the Sun's light to shine to the Earth would be about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. To find that out, i did:

- The first number to know is the speed of light in a vacuum, which is 300,000 km/s

- Next, you need to know the average distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 150 million km.

- Divide the distance by the speed of light and you have 500 seconds for light to arrive on Earth.

- Finally, divide 500 seconds by 60 to get the number of minutes and you have 8 minutes and 20 seconds.

Answer 4

Traveling at the speed of light (3.0 times 10 to the power of 8 m/s) and with Jupiter being approximately 631 million kilometers away. It would take you 2103 seconds(35 minutes)

Answer 5

At light speed it would take about 8 minutes. The Space Shuttle travels at about 30,000 kilometres per hour, and would be able to do the trip in no less than 7 months.

Answer 6

The Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun. At the speed of light, which is 186 thousand miles per second, light takes 500 seconds, or about 8 and a third minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.

Answer 7

An average of 8 minutes 20 seconds.

Answer 8

ght takes about 8 minutes to travel from Earth to the sun. The sun is about 93 million miles away, so it would take about 177 years to get to the sun in a car traveling at 60 miles per hour, and about 21.5 years to get to the sun in an airplane traveling at 500 miles per hour.
