When Mars is as close to Earth as it can possibly be, and if it were possible to travel

in a straight line all the way there, the trip would take you about 72 million kilometers.

The distance would not depend on your speed.

It depends on where they are in their orbits relative to each other, but at their closest, Earth and Mars are 48,677,443 miles apart. This is equal to 4 minutes and 21 seconds at the speed of light.

a little less than an hour < guy that wrote that is stupid. 12.77 minutes(silvr90210's answer) it takes 8.352min from the sun to earth and about 4 more from earth to marz

What is a light year and explain it using a suitable example which talks about position of stars?

A light year, is the distance that you would travel in one year if you were traveling at light speed. It is equal to about 6 trillion miles and 9 trillion kilometers. It doesn't really deal with the position of the stars but their distances from earth. Example: Sirius is about 8 light years from earth. If you traveled at light speed in its direction, you would arrive in about 8 years.


What is the distance from the sun to Earth in hours?

Distance can't be measured in time units unless we know the speed. At the speed of light, the Sun is about 8 1/3 light minutes from Earth. At US interstate highway speed, it's a very long time indeed (at 100 kilometers per hour, it would take you over 170 years to get there).


How fast would you have to travel in order to reach a star that is 50 light years away from Earth when you are 40 years older than you were when you left earth?

You would have to be travelling faster than the speed of light in order to do this. And, theoretically speaking, this would be impossible to do.However, if you were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, you would need to be travelling 1.25x the speed of light (which is about 3.75 x 108 m/s2).


If you could travel at the speed of light how long would it take you to get to Neptune from the earth?

The time would be T= d/c where d is the distance between Earth and Neptune and c is the speed of light.


For the moon to travel at the speed of light how long would it take to orbit the earth?

1 second

What is the speed of light energy?

the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second. and if you ask about how far the sun is from earth that would be 150,000,000 kilometers so in calculation that would mean it would take just about 8 minutes and 17 seconds for the suns light and heat to travel to the earth. now imagine the earth without the o-zone layer we would be fried like mercury. &#9786;


How long would it take to travel around earth?

That will obviously depend on the speed. Assume some convenient speed, then divide the circumference (which is about 40,000 kilometers) by that speed. If the circumference is in kilometers, and the speed in kilometers/hour, the time will be in hours.


How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?

It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.

What is the escape velocity for satellite?

If it is close to Earth, it would need a speed of 11.2 kilometers per second to escape from Earth.


Time to travel 56000000 million kilometers if travelling at light speed?

It would take you just over 5 years 9 months to travel 56,000,000,000,000 kilometers at the Speed of light, 299,792,458 meters per second.


Where would you be34 hours from earth at light speed?

well the speed of light is roughly 186000 miles/second so you would be about 22766400000 miles away


What is the distance traveled by light in 1 minute called?

In vacuum, the distance would be roughly 11.2 million miles (rounded). It's never used as a unit of measure, so it doesn't have any particular name, and would be called simply "one light-minute". The distance from Earth to the Sun is about 81/3 of them.


How long would it take to get from earth to Uranus traveling at the speed of light?

3 days


How long would it take to get to the moon if you were traveling from the Earth at the speed of light?

About 1.5 seconds


How long it would take you to reach the moon if you traveled at a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour?

The distance from the Earth to the moon is about 384,000 Kilometers so it would be about 384 hours or 16 days.
