It would take 8 months because of the rotation around the sun. A spacecraft cannot be launched directly toward a planet because by the time it would arrive, the planet would be long gone, therefor the spacecraft has to travel a much longer distance to intersect the planet.

If it takes 18 months to travel from earth to mars how long would it take to travel from earth to Jupiter?

It would take about 9 years to travel from Earth to Jupiter, assuming a similar speed and trajectory as the trip from Earth to Mars. Jupiter is much farther away from Earth than Mars, so the journey would be significantly longer.


How long would it take to get to mars and back?

A round trip to Mars can take anywhere from 18 months to 3 years, depending on the alignment of the planets and the trajectory chosen. The actual time spent on the surface of Mars would be limited to a few weeks, as the rest of the time would be spent in transit. Extensive planning is required to ensure the safety and well-being of astronauts during such a long-duration mission.


How many days would it take to travel from Earth to Mars?

The duration of a trip from Earth to Mars can vary depending on the positions of the two planets in their orbits. On average, a spacecraft traveling from Earth to Mars can take anywhere from about 150 to 300 days.


How long would it take for a space shuttle to travel to mars?

How long it takes a spacecraft to reach Mars depends on the changing distances between Mars and Earth as they orbit the sun, and other factors. Trips are usually planned for when Mars will be closest to Earth; the shortest is about three months. None of NASA's Space Shuttle fleet are capable of making the trip, and the remaining shuttles are due to be retired.


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.

How long would it take to walk to mars travelling at 3.2 kph when mars is closest to the earth?

Mars is 206,655,215 km from Earth at its closest (Perihelion). Walking at 3.2kph, the trip would take 7,367 years, 3 months.


How long would a radar signal take to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars when the two planets are 1.5 AU apart?

It would take a radar signal 3049600 seconds to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars. Divide by 60 to get minutes and divide again to get hours.


How long will it take to complete a mission to mars?

The trip to Mars will take about seven months and about 300 million miles (480 million kilometers). During that journey, engineers have several opportunities to adjust the spacecraft's flight path, to make sure its speed and direction are best for arrival at Jezero Crater on Mars

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.


What would happen if you die on Mars?

First we would have to actually make a successful trip to Mars...

How would you get oxygen on a trip to mars?

an oxygen tank


Why do you not just go to mars?

One of the main reasons is because the trip would cost billions of dollars. There is also a lot of radiation between Earth and Mars, that we are unsure of how our bodies would react to. But we know that the risk of developing cancer after visiting Mars would sky-rocket. There is also the "Mars is really far away" problem too. It would just take to long and we don't have the tecnology to ensure the safety of our astronauts.


How long will the trip take you to Italy?

The trip will take you about 1 day and a bit by plane Otherwise by car and boat it would take about 3 months


How long would it take to reach mars if you could eccelerate at one g?

If you could accelerate steadily and constantly at 1 G for half the trip to Mars and then decelerate steadily at 1G, you could land on Mars in about 1 day, depending on where Mars was in its orbit.Unfortunately, no known spacecraft can accelerate at 1G for more than a few minutes at a time.


How long would it take for a road trip from Ontario to British Columbia?

It would take around 45 hours.
