Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric. When Pluto is at its minimum distance form the Sun, sunlight takes about 14800 seconds to reach it (just over 4 hours). At its maximum, the light takes about 24600 seconds (nearly 7 hours).

If a rocket left Pluto traveling 1000 mph how long would it take to reach the Sun?
450 years.
How long would it take a rocket to travel from Pluto to the sun?
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.
How long would it take Pluto at its farthest distance away from the sun to orbit the sun if it was traveling at 62500 miles per second?
The distance of Pluto doesn't matter, since the orbit would be the same no matter how fast Pluto travels.The orbit of Pluto is about 22,698,700,000 miles long. if Pluto traveled that distance at 62500 miles per second, it would take 363179.2 seconds or about 100 hours to orbit the Sun.
How long does the sun take to orbit pluto?
Pluto's orbital period is about 248.09 earth years, or 90,613,305 days.
How many years would it take for you to travel from the sun to Pluto?
The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is 4.4 billion kilometers, which means that light from the Sun always takes longer than 4 hours to reach Pluto. For a rocket vehicle travelling at the speed that astronauts went to our Moon (less than 40,000 km/hr), it would take over 12 years to reach Pluto!

Why does pluto take so long to orbit the earth?
No answer Pluto orbits the Sun Pluto does not orbit the Earth
How long does in take Pluto to orbit around the sun?
A long time.
How long does the sun take to orbit pluto?
Pluto's orbital period is about 248.09 earth years, or 90,613,305 days.
How long would it take for a satellite using the same energy as the sun does to reach Pluto?
100 years
Why does it take Pluto so long to go around the sun?
Becaus it is so far away from the sun, it has a bigger orbit, so it takes Pluto a long time to travel around the sun
What planet would it take the longest to orbit the sun?
pluto
How many earth's years would it take for Pluto to travel around the sun?
248.09 Earth years for Pluto to orbit the Sun
How long would it take to reach the sun from Pluto?
That depends a lot on the speed. Use the formula: time = distance / speed.
How long does it take for Pluto to rotate around the sun?
248 earth years
