The orbital speed goes with the inverse square-root of distance. The Earth at 1 astronomical unit goes at 18.5 miles per second, so Mars at 1.52 astronomical units travels at 18.5/sqrt(1.52) or 15 miles/sec.

Mars' mean orbital velocity is 15 miles (24.1 km) per second.

That would be 54,000 miles per hour.

At what speed did Apollo 11 travel?

The numbers usually given are a maximum speed of about 25,000 miles per hour.


How long does it takes a rocket fron earth to mars?

That is solely a question of speed. If Mars was 100 miles away, and you were travelling at 100 miles per hour, it would take 1 hour. NASA plans on about a 9 month trip from the earth for manned flights to mars in the future.


How long will it take to travel to Mars at 25000 mph?

The distance from the Earth to Saturn is 1.003 billion miles. The time it would take to make this trip traveling at a speed of 200,000 kilometers per hour is 336.3 days.


What speed does a rocket that has to travel to mars travel?

There are many variables to consider in this question, such as the type of rocket, the distance to Mars at the time, the time involved in Lift Off from Earth, and descent to Mars, etc. Mars is orbiting the Sun, as is the Earth, which means distances are always changing. On 'average,' the distance to Mars is about: 156.9 million miles Recently (November 2011) NASA sent a rocket carrying the Curiosity Rover to Mars. It took 254 days from liftoff to landing on Mars. NASA calculated and waited until Mars was closer to Earth, which was significantly closer than the 'average' distance. The distance to Mars at this time was 'only' 127 million miles (29 million miles closer). To reach Mars in 254 days at this distance, not figuring in fine details such as liftoff and descent, the rocket carrying Curiosity had to be traveling at speeds of about 500,000 miles per day, or about 21,000 miles per hour (roughly 347 miles per minute or roughly 6 miles per second).
