What is travel time from sun to earth?

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.)


The sun is 93 million miles from earth How long will it take a typical jet airplane traveling at 400 miles per hour to travel to the Sun from the earth?

Well, first of all, space ships, probes, vehicles etc. never travel in straight lines. But we'll ignore that inconvenient fact, in order to get at the main point of the question, which is to convey a feeling for the distance to the Sun. Traveling in a straight line at the speed of a passenger jet ... 400 miles per hour ... it would take . . . -- 24.8 days to reach the Moon, -- 26.5 years to reach the Sun, -- 111.8 years to reach Jupiter, (when Jupiter is as close to Earth as it can ever get), -- 7.21 million years to reach the nearest star outside our solar system.


How long does it take a particle traveling at the speed of light take to travel from the sun to the earth?

From Earth, it takes about 8minutes 20seconds if you travel in a straight line.


How long an airplane reach mars from earth?

An airplane, by definition, flies in the air, it does not fly in outer space where there is no air. So an airplane cannot fly from Earth to Mars. That requires a spaceship. With current technology, a spaceship might reach Mars in about a year. It's a long trip.

How long does it take for sound to travel from an airplane to the earth if the airplane is traveling 4 miles in the air?

Speed of Sound = 343.14 m/s 4 miles = 6437 metres 6437/343.14 = 18.76 seconds


If a airplane is traveling 600 mph and the earth is traveling 1000 mph how do you get from one point to another when traveling in the same direction as the rotation of the earth?

When the Earth is traveling, everything on the Earth is traveling with it, in the same frame of reference. For example, when you are in a car or an airplane and you flip a coin in the air, the coin doesn't shoot backwards. Or, notice that when you jump upwards that the Earth didn't move from under you when you jumped.


Traveling in an airplane at 500 mph how long would it take you to travel around the circumference of Earth?

24,901 miles at 500 mph would require 2.08 days.

Can radiation travel through a vacuum?

Yeah, radiation can travel in vacuum and a practical example of it is the radiation of sun coming to earth and traveling through space.


Why a sound wave can't travel from a satellite to earth?

A sound wave can not travel from a satellite to earth because there is not an atmosphere in space. The sound wave has no way off traveling through the air because there isn't any air.

Where does the earth travel fast?

The Earth travels around the sun in an orbit that is in an elliptical (oval) shape. The sun is not in the center of the oval, but nearer to one end. The point in Earth's orbit when it is closest to the sun is called the perihelion, and that is also the point when the Earth is traveling fastest in its orbit. Where it is furthest from the sun (aphelion) is where it is traveling slowest.
