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.)
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.
From Earth, it takes about 8minutes 20seconds if you travel in a straight line.
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.
Light is the fastest thing on earth as we know it. Traveling at a astonishing speed of 186,282 miles in one second!!
Speed of Sound = 343.14 m/s 4 miles = 6437 metres 6437/343.14 = 18.76 seconds
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.
24,901 miles at 500 mph would require 2.08 days.

Humans are traveling at the same speed as the earth.
"Up" at the beginning of the trip, and "down"at the end of it.
NO mars has longer years so it has longer orbit and traveling

Yeah, radiation can travel in vacuum and a practical example of it is the radiation of sun coming to earth and traveling through space.
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.
From Earth, it takes about 8minutes 20seconds if you travel in a straight line.
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.
