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.
10,000 years
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.

Like in the question How long would it take to drive by car from earth to neptune? it's not the easiet thing to do, and it would take longer than your life time, about one hundred years, give or take. It's about 2,700,000,000 mile journey and nearly impossible to make, but if you did, you'd probably die before you made it.... Hope this helped Wolfgirl3252 == ==
The day on Neptune is 16 hours long, so the average night would be eight hours long. this is bull and i am a hermaphrodite
There have been no space shuttle landings on Neptune. It would be impossible to land on Neptune for two reasons: 1 - Neptune is a gas giant 2 - Neptune is freezing cold, electronic equipment would freeze and malfunction

Your question is not as hypothetical as you may think. Sunlight DOES travel at thespeed of 300,000 km per second. At that speed, once the light leaves the surfaceof the sun, it takes about 4hours20minutes for it to reach Neptune.

Triton is Neptune's moon. However, it takes about 155 min for sunlight to reach Triton.
The planet Neptune has been explored by only one explorer, Voyager 2. Launch date - 20 August 1977 Reached Neptune - 25 August 1989
No. You can't even go to Neptune. It's too far away. If you could get to Neptune, you would be crushed by Neptune's internal pressure long before you reached the core.
12 hours
At Venus' closest distance from Earth of about 23.7 million miles, it would take at least 1 year 4 months to get there at 2,000 mph.
