The time required to travel to Pluto depends on the spacecraft's speed and trajectory. For New Horizons, the fastest spacecraft to reach Pluto, it took approximately 9.5 years to travel the 3 billion miles from Earth to Pluto. Other spacecraft with different speeds and trajectories would take longer.
It depends what spped you travel at ! If you travelled at the speed of light it would take .... If you travelled as fast as a shuttle it would take.....
248.09 Earth years for Pluto to orbit the Sun
The straight-line distance from Earth to Pluto ranges from 4.3 billion km to 7.5 billion km, depending on their relative positions in their orbits. To complicate matters further, spacecraft cannot travel in straight lines. This is because accelerating to the necessary speeds would require more fuel than a spacecraft can carry. Instead, the rockets will fly by the moon, or one or more planets, gaining speed by the slingshot effect.
With modern space crafts about 20 years but maybe in the future scientists well make a new space craft that well get us there a lot sooner.
It takes about 3 days (72 hours) for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to the Moon.
No.. Its quite impossible for us to reach Pluto because the closest distance between the Earth and Pluto occurs when Earth is at its most distant from the Sun, and Pluto is at its closest. And the Sun, Earth and Pluto are lined up in a perfect line. When this happens, Pluto and Earth would be separated by 4.2 billion km. At their most distant, Earth would be at its furthest at the opposite side of the Sun from Pluto. At this point, Earth and Pluto would be separated by 7.5 billion km. And so, the distance from Earth to Pluto ranges between these two distances.
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!
Traveling to Venus would be easier than traveling to Pluto. Venus is the closest planet to Earth, with a distance of around 25 million miles at its closest approach. On the other hand, Pluto is one of the most distant objects in our solar system, reaching a distance of over 4.67 billion miles from Earth at some points. Additionally, Venus has been visited by spacecraft multiple times, while only one mission, New Horizons, has flown by Pluto.
Pluto is only 2/3 the size of our moon (at only 2,320km across), and of all official planets and minor planets, Pluto has the largest orbit around the sun because it is the furthest from the sun. Due to its extreme distance from Earth, there have been no spacecraft sent to observe it more closely. Even a mission by remote unmanned spacecraft would cost several billion dollars, and the information obtained from such a mission would likely be insignificant compared to missions to Mars. Due to its size and comparatively small distance from Earth, Mars has much greater potential benefit for humanity than Pluto. The distance from Earth to Mars is only 3.8% the distance from Earth to Pluto, and it still takes between four and seven months to get to Mars.
If you are planning on going to Pluto, you will need a variety of things for your voyage. Your spacecraft to Pluto will need to be supplied with food, water, a power system, and fuel to last the 23 years it takes to get there. The trail there and back takes about 46 years and 210 days.
Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft 40 years to reach a star located 40 lightyears away from Earth.
