A person would need to be on the planet Mars for at least 18 months before they could return home because of the launch window. It would take about 8 months to reach the planet and then another 18 months on the planet until the next launch window to open.

What was the first animal on Mars?
No animals have been landed on Mars yet. No humans have been on Mars either. As far as animals living on Mars, there is no current knowledge of that either, although speculation exists. Transporting animals (or people) to Mars is still not practical. Currently it would take several months to get there, during which time cosmic rays would cause serious damage to the passengers, and such a mission would require huge amounts of food (which must somehow be preserved for probably at least 5 years to get there, land, and return to Earth), water and breathable air be brought. At present, such a mission is impractical because of how much fuel would be required to carry everything to Mars, land it, launch back into space from Mars' surface and return to Earth. It also costs a lot of money, in the billions and possibly trillions.
How long would it take to travel Mars in lightyears?
A light-year is not a measurement of time but of distance. How far light can travel in a year. Your question therefore asks about the distant between the Earth and Mars which varies with their orbiting about the sun.. However, Earth and Mars are never anywhere near a light year abart. At most, they are about 12 light minutes apart.
Whats the amount of time it takes to travel to mars from earth?
About 9 months by conventional chemical rocket propulsion.
How long would it take to walk to mars from earth?
10 years.======================I think it could be done more quickly than that, even in a spacesuit.======================Just like a trip to the corner store, a trip from New York to Paris, ora trip to the bathroom, the time it takes depends on how fast youtravel. At an average walking speed of 3 miles per hour, the triparound Mars, with no stops for rest, pits, or oxygen refill, wouldtake 184 days 3.5 hours.
When did curiosity land on Mars?

no...
What is the time of dependency for a kitten?

Why would you have to be on mars for 18 months at a time?
Mars takes longer to orbit the sun than Earth does, so the distance between the two planets varies greatly. Spacecraft can only travel between the two planets when their orbits bring them relatively close together, which occurs roughly every 26 months. The journey from one planet to the other takes about 8 months, so the shortest time you could spend on Mars would be 18 months.
Which months does mars appear to experience during that time period?
january
How long does it take to get to the Mars?
While the exact time depends on the engines used to get there, missions to Mars take approximately 4 months to arrive. Mars and Earth are only lined up properly every 25 months to permit an economical trip to Mars.
How long would it take to mail a letter to mars?
funnyas long as it would take for you to befriend an astronaut who is scheduled to travel there, or who can get your letter on a rover, for example - and then the time waiting until his/her departure . . and then about seven months beyond that time.

How much time nasa spacecraft took to reach mars?

Why would human astronauts on trip to Mars need to be concerned about solar wind?
A trip to Mars takes months and involves crossing several million miles of space. This is enough time for the solar widn to affect the trajectory of a space craft.

How long would it take a manned space vessel to get to Mars?
It is estimated that it would take at least three months to send human beings to land on Mars. The travel time depends on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits around the Sun. Time is of essence. The plans made in 2005 were three to nine months depending on when the flight was launched. The plan in 2005 was for three crew members. One was a Captain in the US Air force as the pilot. He was a graduate of Georgia Tech. Crew member No. 2 was a Russian Cosmonaut, No. 3 A high tech president of a start up company that designed much of the software required for the flight. Funding issues have delayed these plans as well as political issues.
