It would depend on the path chosen and on where Neptune and Earth were in their orbits. 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.

How close can you get to planet Neptune?

neptune is the eighth planet from the sun . Comment: You can get as close as you like, but you would need a very good spacecraft and it would take years to get there.


How long would it take the satellite to reach Neptune?

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.

How long did it take the space shuttle to get to Neptune?

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


What is the gravity on Neptune?

To answer this we must start by taking a look at Neptune's mass. Neptune's mass is about 1.02 x 1026 kg. It would take over 17 Earths to fill up Neptune, but the gravity on Neptune is only 1.19 times of the gravity on Earth. This is because it is such a large planet (and the gravitational force a planet exerts upon an object at the planet's surface is proportional to its mass and to the inverse of its radius squared). A 100-pound person would weigh 112.5 pounds on Neptune. If the object is massive it will gain gravity but if it is large it will lose gravity at a greater rate.

What are some missions to Neptune and their dates and how long did it take them to reach the planet?

The planet Neptune has been explored by only one explorer, Voyager 2. Launch date - 20 August 1977 Reached Neptune - 25 August 1989


You were the farthest planet from the sun now you are not?

The farthest planet from the sun used to be Pluto. Pluto is now considered to be a dwarf planet, not a planet. When Pluto was a planet, its orbit would sometimes take it closer to the sun than Neptune, making the Neptune the farthest planet from the sun for that period of time.
