How long does it take radio waves to travel from earth to Jupiter?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The distance between Earth and Jupiter can be anywhere between roughly
391 and 577 million miles, depending on where each of them is in its orbit.
The corresponding transit times for radio (or light, heat, etc.) are:
390.8 million miles . . . 35 minutes
576.8 million miles . . . 51.6 minutes

Why is there a time delay in receiving radio transmissions in the UK from Australia?
There is time delay because the radiotransmissionsare not instant; they may travel at the speed of light but that is notinstantaneous. Also, the radio waves have to travel up to asatellite, as the waves cannot go through the Earth.
Can gps signals travel underwater?
No. The GPS signal is high-frequency radio waves. High frequency radio waves cannot travel through water.
The shadow zone is caused by of waves as they travel through Earth.?
The shadow zone is caused by S-waves as they travel through Earth. S-waves, however, cannot travel through the outer core of the Earth, which is molten. This is because S-waves lose velocity when travelling through a liquid.
What are the waves of force called that travel through Earth as a result of an earthquake?
Seismic Waves.
Why radio waves travel longer over the sea?
Radio wave strength can be affected by weather when traveling over the sea. Unusual atmospheric phenomena enable longer radio wave travel.
Why are satellite used to relay radio waves?
Satellites are used to relay radio waves to the other side of the world because radio waves cannot travel directly through the Earth.
How did apollo11 communicate with people on earth?
By using a radio. Radio waves travel great distances in space.
Where are radio waves faster-earth or space?
Radio waves travel with the highest speed in vacuum, and slightly slower in air. So they move slightly faster in space than on earth.
How does communication travel from earth to the moon?
Through the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically radio waves.
If the Earth was located near Jupiter's orbit which is farther from the Sun than Earth what would be one of the effects?
Radio waves are generated through a cyclotron maser mechanism, and the energy is transmitted out along a cone-shaped surface. When the Earth intersects this cone, the radio emissions from Jupiter can exceed the solar radio output.
If you scream on the moon can it be heard on earth?
No it can not be heard on earth because for a scream to travel as sound waves air is required and there is no air on the moon or between the earth and the moon. However if you were in a space suit with a working radio and screamed on the moon, that could be heard on earth because radio waves do not need air to travel in.
Which waves travel through vacuum?
raDIO WaVES
What are the waves that travel from the sun to earth?
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.
What type of medium is required by radio waves?
radio waves do not require a medium to travel,it can even travel through vaccum
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?
Radio waves travel through empty space because they are electromagnetic waves, whereas sound is a wave that must travel through air.
Why radio waves can travel through space but sound waves cannot?
