How long does it generally take to reach moon from the earth?

It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the moon. During that time a spacecraft travels about 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the moon.

Travel Time at 17500mph from Earth to Pluto?

Unfortunately, there is not a simple answer. The distance between Earth and Pluto is changing all the time. Also, spacecraft follow complicated trajectories to reach their targets most efficiently, using gravitational fields.


If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?

The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.


How long does it take to travel to from earth to the earth's moons?

The Apollo spacecraft took 3 days to travel from the Earth to the moon.


What is the travel distance between Earth and Mars?

If you could cross space directly and ignore Newton's laws like in Star Trek, You would need to cross between 54,710,000 and 401,307,000 kilometers depending on the current orbital/precession status of both planets. However, since current Earth spacecraft burn and coast into an elliptical orbit around the sun such that Mars' gravity will catch the spacecraft; the travel distance to Mars is less than about half of the circumference of Mar's orbit, or about 715 million kilometers, and more than about half of the circumference of the Earth's orbit, or about 470 million kilometers. Differences in designs of spacecraft can change these numbers drastically. Hence it is usually easier to simply refer to the direct line-of-sight distance between the planets.


Is it true that Earth's gravitational pull on a spacecraft is greater as the spacecraft moves away from Earth?

False. The attractive force of gravity decreases with the square of the distance.


What is the distance of the moon from Earth?

To find the distance between the Earth and Moon you would use Lunar distance. Lunar distance is the measurement from and to the Earth and Moon which calculates 238,900 miles


How long does it take a message to travel from Earth to a spacecraft on Mars at its farthest from Earth?

22.2 minutes


How far would it take to travel to the moon by car?

If you measured the distance between the moon and earth you could calculate the correct Distance you are recommended to travel.


Why does the space station travel so fast?

The International Space Station is in a low Earth orbit between 199 mi and 216 mi. To maintain this orbit, the space station has to travel at a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour. If a spacecraft was launched sideways off the Earth with a low velocity, gravity would pull it towards the ground. If the spacecraft was launched at a faster velocity, it would hit the ground at a farther distance because the ground would be curving away at a faster rate. However if the spacecraft was launched fast enough, the Earth would constantly curve away as the spacecraft falls indefinitely. The spacecraft would be in orbit. The speed required for the International Space Station to orbit is 17,500 miles per hour. The higher an object's orbit is, the slower it has to travel to maintain that orbit.


What is the distance between planet earth and planet Kepler?

There is no planet Kepler. Designations such as Kepler-69c are given to planets discovered by the Kepler spacecraft. This spacecraft has discovered planets ranging from 100 to 7,000 light years away.
