The exact length of the Spanish armada is unknown but I have read that is took several weeks to complete this monstrous task.
1588. The first ships set out on 28 May, the last got home on 14 October. See http://www.bezzer.co.uk/armada/timeline.html

They were a strong army and could easily invade and take over
Yes and without ever coming within range of the armada. Although it would probably take a while...... And they would have to come in RANGE of the armada, or else they couldn't hit it. A missile-equipped frigate would not have to come in SIGHT of the armada, however.

No, Queen Elizabeth I was England's monarch during the time of the Spanish Armada (1588). Queen Elizabeth did not actually take part in the sea battle.
The fact that the Spanish armada was attacking England in an attempt to take it over, overthrow queen Elizabeth I and turn England back into a Catholic country. After the Spanish armada was defeated, it had massive effects for both countries. England had a huge boost in morale while Spain suffered greatly financially because great amounts of money were spent on the armada. While in this financial difficulty, Spain couldn't afford to launch another attack on England.
Although some preliminary plans had been made after England's entrance into the Netherlands conflict (Treaty of Nonsuch, 1585), the Armada was assembled in mid-1587 and sailed in 1588. The conflict continued as part of a wider, undeclared Anglo-Spanish War, until around 1604.

Elizabeth I refused to Mary Philip II and he was fed up with people robbing his ships so he wanted to get his own back on England and Elizabeth.
So he could avoid the Spanish ships from using their grappling hooks on them. Spanish armada had more soldiers so they tried to board the English ships.
Gold and Silver and other treasures, Elizabeth encouraged them to do this, this was one of the reasons for the Spanish armada xxx
