800,0000
Light years.
You would have to move at least 73000km/hr, or about 45300mph to reach Pluto in 9 years.
It takes a ray of light, not years, but just a few hours (about 7 hours) to reach Pluto.
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!
Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric. When Pluto is at its minimum distance form the Sun, sunlight takes about 14800 seconds to reach it (just over 4 hours). At its maximum, the light takes about 24600 seconds (nearly 7 hours).
10 X 100000000 light years if the space ship is moving with a speed of 10000000000 km per minute.
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.

100 years
It takes 9 years, and the first satellite will reach Pluto in 2015. The satellite was launched on January 9, 2006. I cannot wait till we find out the deep secrets of Pluto...
Pluto's distance from the Sun is from 4.4 to 7.4 billion kilometers. The speed of light is 300,000 km/sec. Light takes between from 4.1 hours and 6.8 hours to travel from the Sun to Pluto. For the mean distance of 5.9 billion km, it would take 5.46 hours.
