How long would it take to walk to Pluto?

Answer 1

Pluto is in an eccentric orbit which unlike earth this means it is Egg shaped and not going around in a complete circular orbit.

This means that some times depending when you look at Pluto the furthest away Pluto is form the Sun on the longest part of the egg shaped orbit it will be 49 AU form the Sun

An AU = 93,000,000 miles which is the distance from the Earth to the Sun

At the shortest Point it is 29 AU

So the answer to your question is in between 4.4 Billion Kilometers to 7.3 Billion Kilometers Plus or minus the distance that earth could be away from the sun at any one time which is nearly 150 million kilometers away

Or in miles from 2.75 billion miles away to 4.53 billion miles away plus or minus the earths distance from the sun 93,000,000 miles

Pluto has an orbit that is so eccentric that it can fall between Neptune's orbit of the Sun and be closer to the sun about once in several hundred years

Answer 2

At their most distant, Pluto is 4.67 billion miles from Earth; this is equivalent to 4670000000 feet. At their nearest, Pluto is 2.66 billion miles from Earth, which is the equivalent of 10,908,480,000,000 feet.

Answer 3

Pluto orbits the Sun at an approximate distance of 6,000,000,000 kilometres.

The Earth orbits the Sun at an approximate distance of 150,000,000 kilometres.

As the Earth and Pluto can be either on the same side of the Sun, or on different sides, the difference is negligible.

So, as a kilometre = 3,281 feet, that's about 19,686,000,000,000 feet.

Answer 4

A lot of assumptions will need to be made.

Assume Pluto is at a distance of about 39 AU from Earth, that's 39 * 150,000,000km. Assume a person walks one metre per second and doesn't stop. That's a total of 5,850,000,000,000 seconds, which equates to about 185,380 years.

Of course this is impossible

Answer 5

It depends how fast you go, but with current technology it would take a very long time. The NASA unmanned probe "New Horizons" is currently on its way to Pluto and is due to arrive in 2015, after 9 years of travel. And it has one of the highest speeds of any space probe to date.

Answer 6

it would take years and years and years and years and years to get there so maybe 140 years

Answer 7

The distance between Earth and Pluto are 4.67 billion miles between each other. This is equivalent to 7.5 billion kilometers.

Answer 8

The mean distance to Pluto is about 5,874,000,000 km; that's equivalent to 0.0006209 light-years. (As a reminder, a light-year is a unit of distance.)
