At the moment - according to the Wikipedia article (see related link) it takes about 16 hours for signals sent from Voyager to reach Earth. At least that's what it says in the section titled 'Current Status'

Was Pioneer 1 the first man made object to leave the solar system?
There has never been a man made object to leave the Solar System. There are however, two objects which may escape the influence of Sol and enter the interstellar medium. These objects are the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is currently unknown which will leave the system first, as although Voyager 1 was launched first, peculiarities of the nature of the Solar System may mean that Voyager 2 breaks the heliosphere first.
What is the last layer of the earth's atmosphere?
heliosphere
Did Voyager 2 take Neptunes rings?
Voyager 2 flew by Neptune in 1989, taking images of of Neptunes thin ring system that cannot be easily seen from Earth.
What are the 2 space vehicles that have traveled farthest into the solar system?
The voyager space probes that visited the outer planets in the 70's and 80's, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, while the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 is the furthest man made object from Earth at around 122AU from Earth as of September 2012. That is 122 times the distance between the Earth and Sun.
Where exactly is Voyager 1 right now?
Voyager 1 and 2 were launched in 1977, and explored the outer planets during the 70's and 80's. They are still partially operational today, on their way out of our solar system. Voyager 1 is the most distant man made object to date, currently around 116 astronomical units from earth.
How far is earth from the edge of the solar system?
29770600000km I found this by taking the distance from the earth to the sun from the distance from the sun to the heliosphere (edge of solar system)

The space craft that flew by and photographed the four gas giants in the 1970's?
That was the Voyager I and II spacecraft. Voyager I is 10 billion miles away from the sun (the Earth is only ~93 million miles from the sun and Pluto is 3.67 billion miles). A radio signal from Voyager takes ~15 hours to reach Earth.
Which space ship has travelled farthest from the earth and to where?
Voyager 1, to the outer edges of the solar system.
What is the duration of Earth Star Voyager?
The duration of Earth Star Voyager is 1.6 hours.
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is currently about 18.5 billion km from the Earth. How long does it take in seconds for a radio signal to get from Voyager 1 to Earth?
That distance you gave is nearly 200 astronomical units so if that is right the time would be 8 minutes times 200, which is 26½ hours.
When was Earth Star Voyager created?
Earth Star Voyager was created on 1988-01-17.
When did Earth Star Voyager end?
Earth Star Voyager ended on 1988-01-24.
Did Voyager 2 take Neptunes rings?
Voyager 2 flew by Neptune in 1989, taking images of of Neptunes thin ring system that cannot be easily seen from Earth.
How long does it take a radio signal from the Voyager spacecraft to reach Earth if the distance between Voyager and Earth is 4.16 109 km?
The speed of light is about 300,000 km/sec. Just divide the distance by the speed of light. The answer will be in seconds; divide by 60 to get minutes, by 3600 to get hours, or by 86400 to get days.
