If you were a light ray it would take a day to cover just the inner solar system,

and about a year to cross "all" of it.

The only space ships (voyager) that we've sent (more than 30 years ago) haven't made it to the edge yet.

===============================

1). How long it takes to go around it depends on where you say the edge is.

If you consider the edge of the solar system to be, say, Pluto's orbit, then the

'natural' time to travel around that edge ... using gravity to do most of the work

so that you don't need to keep burning fuel all the way ... is about 250 years.

2). As a species, we've been dreaming and scheming about it for maybe a thousand years,

and we've completed almost none of it so far. So it takes a really long time, at least

in terms of human lifetimes.

The sun is in our solar system. In one sense therefore, no time at all. If you mean from Earth, it depends how fast you go, and what route you take. Mariner 10 took 147 days to get to Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. In yet another sense, you'd never get there because you'd be destroyed by the sun's heat.

Nobody has yet travelled to any of the planets. It would certainly take many years.

A long long long long time!


If you were to travel as speed of light how long would it take to travel our solar system?

In the furthest reaches of the Solar System is the Oort Cloud; a theorized cloud of icy objects that could orbit the Sun to a distance of 100,000 astronomical units, or 1.87 light-years away. Therefor at the speed of light it would take about 3.74 years to travel the diameter of the Solar System. However no object with mass can travel at the speed of light.

How do aliens travel?

Right now you don't, because it would take so long that you would be dead long before getting anywhere near a planet outside out solar system. It is highly unlikely humans will ever be able to travel to any planet other than our neighbor Mars (we could get to several others in our solar system in a reasonable time but would die if we attempted to land).
