yes light does take time to travel, and the time taken is at the speed of light. And so depending on the distance, we will know how much time it has taken.
It takes an average of about 7 months to travel from Earth to Mars using current spacecraft technology, depending on the specific trajectory chosen and the positions of the two planets in their orbits.
254 days by the most fuel-efficient orbit, IIRC. Distance doesn't matter as much as travel time, and Mars is pretty close.
Travel time to Mars can vary depending on the positions of Earth and Mars in their orbits. On average, it takes about 6-9 months to travel to Mars using current spacecraft technology. Planning for the right launch window is important to minimize travel time.
Mars takes about 24 hours and 39 minutes to rotate.
The definition of distance is a measurement from point A to point B. As an element of travel, the time taken to go from point A to point B is the time of travel, or the time taken to cover the distance at a certain speed.
The time to travel to Mars is approximately 214 days (Earth days of course).
The time it takes for a probe to travel from Earth to Mars varies depending on their positions in their respective orbits at the time of launch. On average, it takes around 6-9 months for a probe to travel from Earth to Mars.
Average speed = Distance covered/Time taken
The length of a single revolution around the Sun for Mars is about 686.98 Earth days.
The time it takes to travel from Earth to Mars can vary depending on the relative positions of the two planets. On average, it takes about 7-9 months to travel from Earth to Mars using current space travel technology.
Distance to travel divided by average speed = amount of time taken. Time now plus time taken = ETA
