That's obviously pretty fast ... fast enough to go around the world in 24 minutes !
Let's see how it stacks up for interplanetary travel:
Real space probes never travel in straight lines. But to get a feel for what can be accomplished
at this tremendous speed, we'll just make things simple ... assume we travel in straight lines,
and assume that whatever object we want to see is right there when we get there.
OK. We leave earth and move away from it at 100,000 km/hr . . . . .
We pass the moon in 3hours 49minutes (it took the Apollo missions 3 days)
On our way to Jupiter, we cross the orbit of Mars in 32.6 days. Mars may or may not be there.
We spend considerable time crossing the asteroid belt ... actually a band wide enough that
there probably should have been another planet in there. Maybe that has something to do
with the asteroids. Who knows. We have a lot of ground to cover, and can't stop to investigate.
We arrive at Jupiter's orbit in 262 days after we left earth. (That answers the original question.)
The planet is there, but we're making such good time at our unimaginably high speed that we
decide to keep going, and see where else we can get to before we run out of beer.
We reach Saturn after 535 days. It's so beautiful, we hang around for a while and take some pictures.
Then everybody makes a quick pit stop, and we're back on the "road" again, still at 100,000 km/hr.
We reach the orbit of Uranus about 3 years and 40 days after leaving earth. We pass Neptune
with 2 weeks left to go before the 5th anniversary of our launch, and we pass Pluto after
6 years and 210 days.
Frankly, this is getting old, and the novelty has worn off. Some of our crew were beginning to
consider mutiny, until somebody realized ... Hey ! Where can we go ? So they settled down.
But the thrill has definitely gone out of this whole enterprise.
We've passed Pluto. Now, except for a bunch of assorted trash, comets, ice blocks, dust bunnies,
Oort and Kuiper junk too small, numerous, and dark to name, there's nothing gonna be along
out here for quite a while. So we put her on autopilot, relax, settle in, and grab some Z's.
The next thing worth seeing is going to be the Alpha Centauri star system ... the star nearest to
the sun and solar system. We've come too far to turn back, so we might as well go see what
that's all about. Maybe some good antique shops etc.
We're cruising away from the sun at 100,000 km per hour, heading for the next star nearest
the sun. At our super colossal speed, we'll be there in no time.
Counting from the time we blasted away from earth, we reach the next star in 10,793 years.
This depends on the speed that you are traveling at. Pick a speed and then divide the distance by the speed.
Apart from the fact that a jet plane would stall at that low a speed, the speed is equivalent to 36.657 metres per sec
That would depend on the speed at which you are traveling.
That depends on the speed at which one is traveling.
That would be traveling at 2.25 km/hr.
exactly about ten minutes.. considering he is traveling of a speed of 55000.
If you could do it at a constant speed along a straight path, it would take3hours 49minutes 48seconds.
To an outside observer a person traveling at the speed of light would be frozen in time. To the person traveling at the speed of light, things would seem normal.
the hazards on Jupiter would be the storms and the raging winds that just fly across Jupiter at a speed of 150m/s.
The speed of sound is only 768mph.
That would depend on what time of year you left the Earth. But if you knew the distance between the two planets at their closest. Then all you have to do is divide that distance by 186,000 and this would give you how many seconds away Jupiter was from the Earth. The moon is 250,000 miles away that's 250,000/186,000 = 1.344 seconds away.
It would depend on the speed you are traveling.
Jupiter is 390,674,710 miles from Earth. The time it would take to traverse this distance can only be determined if you provide the travel speed.
well, that depends on your speed. for example, if you were going 100000 miles per hour on the highway, it would take you one hour.
It really depends on your speed. If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take 600 years. 600 light years equals 3,527,175,223,910,165 miles. So divide that by the speed you would be traveling to get the length of time it would take you.

Jupiter's gravitational pull is much stronger than that of Earth.
