The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is 4.4 billion kilometers, which means that light from the Sun always takes longer than 4 hours to reach Pluto. For a rocket vehicle travelling at the speed that astronauts went to our Moon (less than 40,000 km/hr), it would take over 12 years to reach Pluto!

∙ 13y agoThe distance from Earth to Pluto is not constant, but averages to 3.57 billion miles. The Space Shuttle orbits at 17,500 miles per hour. Therefore 205,000 hours or 8,500 days or 23 years 105 days

How long does it take to get to Dwarf planet Pluto?
You can't drive to another planet. Cars don't leave the ground, so you would never leave the planet Earth. You would need to use a rocket to get to Pluto, but nobody's ever done it. Certainly more than your lifetime. I've read in a book at measured by driving but it seemed ridiculous. It also depends on how fast you drive. Are you planning to do that? ;D
How long would it take for earth to go to Pluto at 3000000000000 miles an hour?
The trip would only take 5.64 seconds to reach Pluto (about 4.7 billion miles) at that speed.
Which 2 planet is the farthest away from sun?
Neptune and Uranus. It would be Pluto and Neptune but pluto is no longer a planet it is a dwarf planet
Which planet is slightly smaller than the Earth's core?
Mercury is slightly smaller then the Earths Core. Mercury is believed to have been struck by a planet sized object billions of years ago which blew away everything but the core of the planet.(If Pluto was still a planet, Pluto would also be smaller than the Earth's core, but it was demoted to the status of a dwarf planet.)
Fun fact about Pluto?
From Pluto, the sun would look like a tiny insignificant speck.
Which planet venus or Pluto would have a longer year than the earth?
Pluto.
Would you weigh the least on Jupiter Pluto Saturn or earth?
Which planet would I weigh the least Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, or Earth
What planet is earth smaller than?
None. Old textbooks would say that it is Pluto, but Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
What is the gravity of planet Pluto?
The surface gravity on Pluto would be 0.58 meters/second2, or about 1/17th that of earth's.
In which planet would you be the youngest?
You would be the youngest on Neptune (Pluto is no longer a planet) where 1 year = 164.79 years on Earth.
Is earth the biggset or smallest planet?
Neither one! Jupiter is the biggest and Neptune is the smallest. If they didn't announce that Pluto wasn't a planet anymore, Pluto would be the smallest.
Is Pluto a planet and please explain?
scientists decided that it is not a planet because there are other things out in earth that are basically the same thing well has the same features as Pluto therefore if they named Pluto a planet they would have to name those planets as well
How many hours would it take for light from Pluto to reach earth?
8 hours
What planet take the most time to orbit the sun?
Neptune. It would be Pluto, but Pluto is a dwarf planet ( a planet that was a planet, but decided that it wasn't a planet)
If you weigh 120 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on Pluto?
Since Pluto's gravitational pull on its surface is only about 6% that of the Earth on its surface, you would weigh 6% of your Earth weight if you were to stand on Pluto's surface. So, to convert your Earth-weight to your Pluto-weight, you have to multiply your Earth weight by 0.06. In this case, if you weigh 125 lbs on the Earth, you would weigh 7.43 lbs on Pluto.
Is it cold or hot on the planet Pluto?
as the planet Pluto is considered the furthest planet from the sun, it would be a cold planet
How long would it take for us to get to Pluto going 100 MPH?
The average distance between Earth and Pluto is 38.5 AU, or 3,580,500,000,000 miles. So, if we hopped in some kind of interplanetary car and set out for Pluto at 100 MPH, we would reach the dwarf planet in approximately 4,084,531 years. Talk about your long car trips!
