How long does it take a pulse of laser light to reach Mars and back if they both are at their closest approach?

It takes around 7 minutes for light to travel from Earth to Mars when they are at their closest approach, known as opposition. Therefore, for a pulse of laser light to reach Mars and return to Earth, it would take approximately 14 minutes.

How long would it take a laser beam to hit mars from earth orbit?

It depends on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits. Since Mars takes longer to orbit the sun than Earth does the distance between the two planets varies considerably. When Earth and Mars are closest a beam of light will take about 4 minutes to reach Mars from Earth. When they are farthest (on opposite sides of the sun) a bean of light would take about 12 minutes.


How long an airplane reach mars from earth?

An airplane, by definition, flies in the air, it does not fly in outer space where there is no air. So an airplane cannot fly from Earth to Mars. That requires a spaceship. With current technology, a spaceship might reach Mars in about a year. It's a long trip.


Can humans reach Mars?

Not yet, only probes have. In the future, NASA are hoping to reach Mars.
