The time taken depends on the speed of the traveler. At the fastest speed possible, the speed of light, it would take about 5 minutes to get to Mercury at its closest approach. Neptune would take about 4 hours to reach.
At more realistic speeds, like that of the Voyager 2 probe which now moves at a comparatively poky speed of 15km/sec, it takes years to get to the outer planets. The probe was launched in 1977 and reached Neptune in 1989.

What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?
The outer planets take longer.
Why does it take so long to reach planets?
because it is far
How long does Saturn take to orbit the planets in the solar system?
Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.
How long does it take to travel get to the planet Uranus from the earth?
Voyager took 9 years using a favourable positioning of other planets on the way there.
Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
How long does it take the planets to spin on their axis?
That depends on which solar system and planet you are asking about - we now know for planets orbiting other stars.
Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
How long does it take an object to go around the sun?
Depends on distance Earth takes one year The two closer planets (Mercury and Venus) take less than a year The other planets take more than a year
how long would it take for all planets in our solar system including all dwarf planets?
What do you mean by how long would it take? Like how long would it take to orbit around the sun?
What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?
The outer planets take longer.
How long would it take for humans to travel to each of the planets?
Very long.
Why does it take so long to reach planets?
because it is far
What are some planets in other galaxies?
There are billions of planets in the galaxy. Most of them have no names and have not been observed yet.As of 1 September 2017, there have been confirmed detections of 3,660 exoplanets in 2,744 planetary systems and 614 multiple planetary systems.

Is there life in other planets other than earth?
noones quite sure yet about if there is life on other planets because there is just no scientific proof of that yet. It would take to long to trave to other planets outside of our solar system because they can be light years away. However when we develope a way to reach the speed of light im sure we'll find out
