How long would it take to travel Mars in lightyears?

Answer 1

A light-year is not a measurement of time but of distance. How far light can travel in a year. Your question therefore asks about the distant between the Earth and Mars which varies with their orbiting about the sun.. However, Earth and Mars are never anywhere near a light year abart. At most, they are about 12 light minutes apart.

Answer 2

A light-year is a unit of distance. The distance from Earth to Mars (on average) would be about .00000824 light-years (~78,000,000 kilometers/~48,500,000 miles). However, the distance between Earth and Mars can vary from 35 million miles to 250 million miles.

Answer 3

A light-year, being nearly six trillion miles, would be wholly inappropriate to use as a unit of measure for the distance between Earth and Mars. Mars, at its closest possible distance from Earth, is "only" 33.9 million miles away. As for traveling there, it would take, according to NASA, about six months for a team of astronauts to cover that distance.

Answer 4

It took the Mars Pathfinder seven months to go to the planet mars from the planet earth.

Answer 5

First, a lightyear is a distance, not a time. There are two (2) ways to read the question: 1) How long does it take light to travel to mars? 2) How many lightyears away is mars? Second,

Answer 6

it would take about six to seven months

Answer 7

scientists do not know yet.
