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 many years should it take new horizons to reach Pluto?
It will reach pluto in 2014.
How long does it take to get to Pluto from the US on a space shuttle?
It depends on how fast your rocket is going. There is a space probe on its way to Pluto now. It is called the New Horizons mission and it will be the first time we have sent a craft to Pluto. It was launched January 19, 2006 and it will arrive at Pluto in July of 2015. It is the fastest spacecraft ever launched yet it will still take 9 1/2 years to reach Pluto.
How long would it take to reach the planet Pluto from Earth?
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!

If you go to Pluto will it take 77 years on a rocket?
No. The New Horizons space probe reach Pluto after a little less than 10 years of travel, though it was moving too fast to land or enter into orbit when it got there. To be able to enter orbit around Pluto the probe would have needed to be launched at a lower speed for a trip of about 12 years.
Why dont they send satellites to Pluto?
They have they sent it in 2005 and they said it should reach pluto by 2015
How many years will a satellite to reach Pluto?
It takes 9 years, and the first satellite will reach Pluto in 2015. The satellite was launched on January 9, 2006. I cannot wait till we find out the deep secrets of Pluto...
Are astronorts on there way to Pluto?
No humans are planned to, or going to, Pluto. New Horizons, a space probe is expected to reach Pluto on 14th July 2015
