The distance that Titan can be from the Earth is: 1,200,217,664 km to 1,666,681,075 km.

To calculate Titan's distance from earth with need 3 sets of numbers:

- Saturn's orbital distance from the Sun:

Aphelion

  • 1,513,325,783 km
  • 10.115 958 04 AU

Perihelion

  • 1,353,572,956 km
  • 9.048 076 35 AU

- Earth's orbital Distance from the sun:

Aphelion152,098,232 km

1.01671388 AU[note 2]Perihelion147,098,290 km

0.98329134 AU[note 2

- Titan's orbital distance from Saturn:

Periapsis1,186,680 kmApoapsis1,257,060 km

Therefor, to calculate the Maximum distance Titan is from the Earth, when Titan is on the opposite side of Saturn, and Saturn and Earth are on opposite sides of the sun:

D(Max) = Titan (Apoapsis) + Earth (Aphelion) + Saturn (Aphelion)

D(Max) = 1,257,060 km + 152,098,232 km + 1,513,325,783 km

D(Max) = 1,666,681,075 km

The Minimum distance Titan is from Earth, when Titan is on the Earth side of Saturn, and Saturn and Earth are in line with, and on the same side of the Sun:

D(Min) = Saturn (Perihelion - Closest to Sun) - Titan (Apoapsis - Furthrest from Saturn) - Earth (Aphelion - Furthest from Sun/Closest to Saturn)

D(Min) = 1,353,572,956 km - 1,257,060 km - 152,098,232 km

D(Min) = 1,200,217,664 km

Therefor, the range of distance that Titan can be from the Earth is: 1,200,217,664 km to 1,666,681,075 km. Depending, of course, when this post is read.

Well first you multiply 99999999999 by 5642 and divide by pie which is 3.1456684646548698495498494654654687646196846576649459465767354984 and then you put it into miles and you got your answer.

Assuming a top space shuttle speed of 17,000 MPH and a mean distance to titan at 887,000,000 miles it would take 5 years 349 days or to a trekkie at warp 1 (speed of light) 79.5 minutes

Titan is a moon that orbits Saturn and is 790,100,000 miles from Earth. The time it would take to travel to Titan would vary based on the speed you were traveling. The last probe sent there by NASA left Earth on October 15, 1997 and did not land on Titan till January 14, 2005 or a total of 2649 days.
