It varies, depending on the positions of Earth and Mars. It can be anywhere between 3 and 22 minutes. When this answer was written (6/27/2009), Mars was approximately 177 million miles from Earth which works out to about 15.84 light-minutes.

How long would it take for a radio signal from earth to reach Venus?
at a rough guess, i,d say 2 minutes as it,s our nearest neighbour
How many minutes would it take a signal to reach earth from 401300000 km away?
401300000 km is 4.013 x 1011 m. The speed of light is 3 x 108 m s-1. Divide the two and you get 1338 seconds, which is 22.29 minutes.
How long would it take to send a radio signal from Earth to a spacecraft that's 900 million meters away?
6 minutes
How long would take light to travel from earth to mars at a distance of 56 million km?
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
How many seconds does it take sunlight to reach earth?
With the average distance or "mean" distance from the Earth to the sun set at approximately 93,000,000 miles, and the speed of light at about 186,000 miles per second; the time in seconds it takes sunlight to reach the earth is appoximately "500 seconds". Most people refer to the time in minutes which would be about 8.333333 minutes.

it takes 15768 mins it takes 15768 mins It takes 1337 Minutes
How many minutes would it take a signal to reach earth from 401300000 km away?
401300000 km is 4.013 x 1011 m. The speed of light is 3 x 108 m s-1. Divide the two and you get 1338 seconds, which is 22.29 minutes.
How many hours would it take a radio signal that's 6.00 10 to the 9 power to reach earth?
It's not clear what the number in the question refers to. The frequency or wavelength of the signal have no effect on the time required for it to reach earth. The only important number is: How far it has to travel. The signal would take 1 hour for every 670,615,200 miles it has to cover.
Which planet would receive a signal fastest?
Depending on their positions in their respective orbits, it could be Venus or Mars. The fastest would be when Venus is at inferior conjunction. That is when Venus and Earth are in line with and on the same side of the Sun. In this case the distance would be approximately 40 000 000 km and a radio signal would take approximately 2 minutes to reach Venus.
How does the earth go 150 million km everyday to reach the sun?
the earth does not go to the sun or else we would all be burnt to ashes. it takes about 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach the earth.
How long does it take for energy released by sun to reach earth?
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.
How long would it take to send a radio signal from Earth to a spacecraft that's 900 million meters away?
6 minutes
How long it takes sunlight to reach earth?
The moon is roughly 250,000 miles from Earth and light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, so it would take about 1.30 seconds for the moonlight to reach Earth.
How long would a radar signal take to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars when the two planets are 1.5 AU apart?
It would take a radar signal 3049600 seconds to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars. Divide by 60 to get minutes and divide again to get hours.
1.A certain spacecraft is 3.3 AU (Astronomical Units) from Earth. How long in seconds does it take for a signal to reach the Earth after it is transmitted from the spacecraft Hint An AU is about 149.9?
One AU, the distance from the Earth to the Sun, is 500 light-seconds. A signal to a spacecraft at a distance of 3.3 AU would take 500 x 3.3 = 1,650 seconds, or 27.5 minutes.
If it takes about 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach earth then how long would it take darkness if you totally covered the sun?
8 minutes...darkness is just the absence of light so if you cover the sun...good luck with that one...it will take 8 minutes for the last bit of light from the sun to reach earth before it can become dark hi
