How Long of trip to up to moon?

Answer 1

Let's say you drive at an average speed of 70 mph, and you are stocked with enough food to last the entire trip, and you have, for example, four people who take it in turns to drive which allows for a continuous trip, i.e. no stopping, and the math is simple -

The average distance of the moon from Earth is about 238,850 miles. So at 70 mph, it would take 3412 hours. Divide this by 24 and it gives you 142 days.

So, give or take your speed by a few mph...

That depends... The distance between the center of the Earth and the Moon varies depending on where the Moon is in its orbit around the Earth, but the mean distance is roughly 385,000 kilometers. If you drove that distance at a steady 100 kph, it would take you 3850 hours, or about 160.4 days. (But you'd be pretty tired and hungry by the time you got there...not to mention having to go potty.) It'd be easier to take the bus...

Answer 2

This depends on how fast you are travelling. In 2003, the ESA SMART-1 lunar probe, for example, took 1 year, 1 month and 2 weeks to reach the moon. In 1969, the Apollo II reached the moon in 3 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes. And the fastest mission to date was NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission, which took 8 hours, 35 minutes to reach the moon.

Answer 3

It will approximatly take 25 hours, 37 minutes and 45 seconds to reach the moon

Answer 4

About two hundred forty thousand miles. Practically touching in astronomical terms. In 1969 it took almost a week to go from the earth to the moon.

Answer 5

it would take you about 142 days
