That rather depends on where Neptune is in it's orbit. Neptune orbits the Sun at an average distance of 4.5 billion km. Let's use this average distance as our basis.
The speed at which light propagates through a vacuum is 299,792,458 meters per second. Let's state that in terms of kilometers per second. 299,792.458 km per second.
4,500,000,000 km can be chopped up into 299,792.25 km chunks... let's see... a total of 15,010 times. Each of those chunks represents one second of travel.
That is 15,010 seconds for light to get from the sun to Neptune. That's about 4 hours and 10 minutes. Quite a long drive if you ask me!

∙ 11y agoIt takes appropriately 4 hours and 40 minutes for sunlight to reach Neptune.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoIt takes 4.05 hours to 4.12 hours for light from the sun to reach Neptune, depending where it is in it's orbit.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe distance from Neptune to the Sun is about 4.5 million kilometers, and the time anything would take to travel that distance would depend upon its speed.

How long would it take the satellite to reach Neptune?
How long it would take to get to Neptune from Earth would depend on the path chosen and on where Neptune and Earth were in their orbits when the mission was launched. For example, the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched on Aug 20, 1977 and it reached Neptune on Aug 24, 1989. So, Voyager 2 took about twelve years to reach Neptune.
If technology allows us to travel at 500000000 kmhr through space how long would it take us to reach Neptune from Earth?
The closest distance of earth and neptune is 4.301 billion kilometers and the farthest distance of earth and neptune is 4.553 billion kilometers. So, the time to reach Neptune ranges from 8.602 hours to 9.106 hours.
How long would it take to get to the planet Neptune?

Does Neptune receive sunlight?
Yes and no. Neptune gets very little sunlight because it is so far from the sun. When light does reach Neptune, the red spectrum of the dim sunlight is absorbed my the methane atmosphere and the blue light spectrum is reflected off the methane, which gives the planet its blue colour.
What would happen if Neptune was as close to Earth as the moon?
Earth would either orbit Neptune or get torn apart by neptune's gravity
What electromagnetic waves would you expect to produce a photoelectric effect radio waves infrared waves ultraviolet waves X rays or gamma rays?
ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays would all do that
What would you need to take with you to get to Neptune safely?
Spacesheep is needed to reach Neptune safely.
Can you see ultraviolet waves?
No you cannot. An example of those waves would be those released by the sun and you cannot see those.
How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.
What are four types of radiation from the sun?
I believe they would be infared, radio, ultraviolet, and electromagnetic waves.

What is the topography of Neptune?
Neptune'sTopography, well since Neptune is just a giant ball of water, there really isn't a surface, once you would enter Neptune, you would go through miles of clouds to reach the surface, which would really be the Core of the planet
How long would it take sound waves to reach Pluto?
Sound waves can't travel through space.

Why aren't ultraviolet waves not used to transmit signals to and from communication satellites?
Because they are of the highest frequencies in the known electromagnetic spectrum. This means their wavelength are very short, which means they will not travel very far, as opposed to low-frequency RF waves. In comparison, the same idea applies to vehicle taillights and why they're colored red (the color red has the longest wavelength in visible light and it will be visible even from a long distance).
Why would your face become darker than your body?
when you go outside in a sunny day, your skin absorbs ultraviolet waves from the sun. this waves damage your skin and makes it release more pigments called "melanin". when this pigment is in your skin, your skin becomes darker. this happens only at the damaged area. your skin that is covered by your cloth is protected from the ultraviolet waves and by that, do not release any melanins and your skin stays light
