Betelgeuse is about 600 light years from us. A light year is about 5,878,630,000,000 miles. So to travel there and back would be a journey of about 7,054,356,000,000,000 miles. Nothing can go faster than light and we cannot come anywhere close to going as fast as light. At the speed of light a round trip would be 1200 years. Even if we went at 25,000 miles per hour it would take us over 32 million years to get there and back.

How long would it take to get to Betelgeuse?
It would take approximately 642.5 years to travel to Betelgeuse at the speed of light. Betelgeuse is located about 642.5 light-years away from Earth.
How long would it take you to drive round the world?
A long time
How long does it take Betelgeuse to revolve once?
Betelgeuse does not actually rotate like a solid body, as it is a supergiant star with an irregular shape due to its strong pulsations. It is estimated that Betelgeuse has a rotation period anywhere from tens to hundreds of years.
How long would it take to travel round Jupiter's diameter?
That would depend on your type of transport.
How long does it take for the light generated by the star Betelgeuse to reach Earth?
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
How long does it take Betelgeuse to revolve around the sun?
Betelgeuse doesn't revolve around the sun. It is a star, even larger than the sun, and much too far away for the sun to have much effect on it.
How long would it take to get to betelgeuse in a spaceship?
Traveling to Betelgeuse, which is approximately 642.5 light-years away from Earth, would take a significant amount of time, likely hundreds of thousands of years with current spacecraft technology. The distance is so vast that we don't have the capability to travel there at speeds that would make the voyage feasible in a human timescale.
How long would a radar signal take to complete a round trip between Earth and Venus when they are at 0.3 AU apart?
It would take a radar signal 299.40 seconds to complete a round trip.
How long does it take for betelgeuse to orbit its galaxy?
Since Betelgeuse is a nearby star (compared to the size of the galaxy, that is), you can assume that it takes about the same time as our Solar System to orbit the galaxy - approximately 240 million years.
How long would it take for light to go round the earth once?
about 3/4 of a second
Can a rover landed on betelgeuse?
First of all, Betelgeuse is 640 light-years away from Earth. So, even if a rover is sent to this star at the speed of light, it would take 640 years for it to get there. Second of all, once it reaches there, we would have to control the rover with radio signals. The signals would have to be extremely strong, and would take 640 years to get to the star. This is impossible and impractical. Third of all, Betelgeuse is a huge hot star. If a rover gets anywhere closer than a few million miles to that star, it would completely melt/vaporize. Fourth, as supergiant star, Betelgeuse has no solid surface; only tenuous gasses. So, no, a rover cannot be sent/land on the star Betelgeuse.
For our cub scouts how long would it take by space shuttle from earth to the planets incl pluto?
About 10 years, a round trip would take 30 yrs
