The distance between Earth and Mars varies significantly depending on their relative positions in their orbits. At its closest Mars is about 130 million miles from Earth. At 50 mph it would take a little under 300 years to travel that distance.

∙ 12y agoThe distance from Mars to Earth ranges from approximately 34 million to 250 million miles. So depending on the positions of both planets then the time taken would differ as shown below.
Light travels at a constant, finite speed of 186,000 miles/sec
So at 34 million miles away it would take 34,000000/186,000 = 182.79 seconds = 3.04 minutes
and at 250 million miles away it would take 250,000000/186,000 = 1344.08 seconds = 22.40 minutes

Comment : You can't give an exact number, because the distance changes as the planets orbit the Sun.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoJust divide the distance by the speed. The answer is in hours.

How long would it take to travel from Jupiter to Mars?
Time of travel would depend upon the speed of the traveler (or the craft containing the traveler).
How long does it take a person to travel from earth to mars?
It doesn't take years. The total journey time from Earth to Mars takes between 150-300 daysdepending on the speed of the launch, the alignment of Earth and Mars, and the length of the journey the spacecraft takes to reach its target.
How long does it take for mars to travel around sun?
One Mars orbit takes 687 earth days.
How long would it take to get from mars to Pluto at the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is only 768mph, so it'll take a pretty darn long time.
How long would it take for s to travel to mars from earth?
If my calculations are currect 153.3 months
Do mars and earth travel at the same speed?
no

How fast does mars travel through space?
The orbital speed of mars averages at around 24.077 km/s.
How long will it take to get to Mars on a spaceship?
it takes 3 years to travel to mars and 3 days to travel to the moon.
How long does it take a person to travel from earth to mars?
It doesn't take years. The total journey time from Earth to Mars takes between 150-300 daysdepending on the speed of the launch, the alignment of Earth and Mars, and the length of the journey the spacecraft takes to reach its target.
How fast does the speed of sound go from mars to earth?
No way! There is vacuum where no sound can travel.
What would be the best thing to travel in when traveling to Mars?
The best thing to travel in would be a space ship. It is a long way to the planet of Mars.
How long would it take to get to mars traveling at the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is only 768mph.
How long will take to travel to mars from earth?
Maybe one year...
How long does it take for mars to travel around sun?
One Mars orbit takes 687 earth days.
What speed must you travel in order to get to mars in order to get there in four years?
It depends. Because the distance between the Earth and the mars varies, the speed will also change if the time is given.If the mars is in perihelion and the earth in aphehelion, then you will have to go at speed of 1558.21917808 km/hr. But if the earth is in perihelion and the mars in aphehelion, then you will need a speed of 2916.66666666666........ km/hr in order to reach the moon in 4 years.
What is the time it takes for a signal to travel?
Communication with spacecraft is by means of radio. Signals travel at the speed of light. At that speed, signal travel one-way to or from the moon takes about 1 and 1/4 seconds. For Mars, depending on where the earth and Mars are in their orbits, radio communication one-way can take up to 22 minutes.
