When Mercury is on the opposite side of the sun from us, it would take a bit longer. Assuming we're both on the same side, it would take light between four and five minutes to reach from Earth to Mercury.

Something traveling 40,000 miles per hour would require 1250 hours, or 52 days. Pretty close to two months.

Why would it be impossible with the technologies you have now for humans to visit planets around other stars?

Because to get to one of those planets you weed need to travel about 4 light years (The distance olight travels in a year). We can currently travel at about a thousandth of thwe speed of light, so unlesss you want to wait 4000 years, its not possible.


How much lag time at 4000 km?

Lag time at 4000 km depends on the context, such as whether it's related to signal transmission, such as light or radio waves. For light, which travels at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, the lag time would be about 13.33 milliseconds (ms). In the case of radio waves, which also travel at light speed in a vacuum, the lag time remains the same. However, if you're referring to other forms of communication or travel, the lag time may vary based on the medium and technology used.


What is the month that occurs 4000 days after June 1?

Because of Leap Years, the day 4000 days after any June 1 would be either May 14 or May 15, 11 years later. * 4000 days is 15 days short of 11 years of 365 days, so would include either two or three Leap Days. After 11 years, June 1 would be the 4017th or 4018th day.


How many miles are in 4000 light years?

(4.06 X 10-8) x (5.8787 x 1012) = 238,680 miles(rounded)That number looks strangely similar to the moon's average distance from earth.Could that be what the questioner was getting at ???


Can you escape gravity by going above the earths atmosphere?

No. To even reduce it by 75% you must travel out to 4000 miles.
