How long does it take for commands from Earth to reach a rover on Mars?

Probably a while because of the distance of Mars form the earth and how long it takes for radio waves and data to travel through space and be picked up by satellites.

What is Mars rover?
The mars rover is a robot sent to mars to take samples and pictures for scientists to analyse back on earth, for detailed information i suggest Wikipeia
How long has the Mars rover been on Mars?
There's no specific time limit for how long a rover can last on Mars. Accidents and mechanical failure can affect the ability of a rover to survive. The Opportunity rover has so far been working almost non-stop for seven years. Its twin rover Spirit has not been heard from in almost a year and may no longer be functional.
How long did it take the Mars Explorer to reach Mars?
About 250 days, but I haven't checked the exact number. (I guess you mean the Mars Exploration Rover mission.)

How long did curiosity take to go and land on mars?
Curiosity, NASA's Mars rover, was launched on November 26, 2011, and it landed on Mars on August 6, 2012. The journey from Earth to Mars took approximately 253 days for the rover to reach its destination and successfully land in the Gale Crater.
How long does it take radio waves to reach mars?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light. When the Spirit rover landed on Mars, signals were able to be sent from the Earth to Mars in 9 minutes 30 seconds. Unfortunately, the rover became stuck and hasn't sent a signal to Earth since March 22, 2010.
Why can't the mars rovers be effectivly remote controlled?
First of all, it takes a couple of minutes for the radio waves from Earth to reach Mars. Hence, we cannot control the rover like a remote-control car. The moves have to be planned, and sent as instructions to the rover. The rover then carries out those instructions and notifies the Control Center when it is done. Secondly, if something goes wrong with your RC car, you can just pick it up and fix it. If it flips over, you can just pick it up and place it correctly. If it gets stuck, you can move it yourself. All this is not possible on Mars. The Engineers have to be very careful when giving commands to the rover. One wrong move could mean the loss of the rover, along with the loss of a lot of money
