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
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.
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).
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).
The time would be T= d/c where d is the distance between Earth and Neptune and c is the speed of light.
1 second
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. ☺
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.
It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.

If it is close to Earth, it would need a speed of 11.2 kilometers per second to escape from Earth.
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.
well the speed of light is roughly 186000 miles/second so you would be about 22766400000 miles away
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.

About 1.5 seconds
The distance from the Earth to the moon is about 384,000 Kilometers so it would be about 384 hours or 16 days.
