How long would it take a jet to fly to Jupiter if it were possible?

A commercial jet travels more or less 1000 km/hr. Jupiter is, round numbers, 5 A.U. away, or 5*150e6 km. Time = distance/rate, so time = 750e6 km /1e3 km/hr = 750,000 hours. To the level of accuracy we're dealing with here, a year is close enough to 7500 hours, so it would take about 100 years to get from here to Jupiter at commercial jet speeds. Your luggage, however... The numbers are incorrect and need a complete reworking. Jupiter's position from earth varies from a maximum of about 6 A.U to a minimum of about 4 A.U. That means the closest Jupiter gets to earth is about the 4 A.U. That's problem one. But there is another problem. When Jupiter and Earth are closest and the jet leaves earth, the planets keep moving. The planets aren't stationary, remember? And if the jet flies "at" Jupiter, Jupiter won't be "there" when the jet arrives where it was aimed. What this leads to is a demand for an "optimal path of travel" for the given craft accounting for its (low) speed and the dynamics of the moving planets. That path will be a curve that will arc out from earth to where Jupiter "will be" when the jet arrives. It's gonna be a loooong curve. Did you get a passing grade in astrophysics? It will certainly take a long, long time. But then there's the issue of jets not being able to operate in space because the control surfaces won't work where there isn't any air. ::wink, wink::so maybe you could take a surtine amount of days but no one nose for shure


How long will it take to get to the moon by jet?

It would not be possible to travel to the moon by jet, as jets are not capable of reaching the necessary speed and altitude to escape Earth's atmosphere and travel to the moon. Rockets are used for space travel to reach the moon.


How long to the moon by jet with an average speed of 600 mph?

It would take approximately 6.5 days to travel from Earth to the Moon at an average speed of 600 mph. The distance between Earth and the Moon is about 238,855 miles.


A description of Jupiter?

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, known for its massive size and distinctive gas giant composition mainly of hydrogen and helium. It is known for its iconic banded appearance caused by powerful atmospheric jet streams and storms, most notably the Great Red Spot. Jupiter has a strong magnetic field and a diverse system of moons, the four largest being Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.


How long would it take to get to Venus from earth by jet?

The fastest spacecraft so far were the Apollo Rockets which could travel up to 40,000 km/h. At that speed it would take a rocket at least 45 days to go from the Earth to Venus.This assumes that the Earth and Venus were at their closest possible orbital positions, about 43 Million kilometres.

An average nonstop flight around the world would take around 34 hours if the plane was going around 500 mph.


How many months and days would it take a jet to travel 821 million miles?

A jet flies at about 575mph, so we do this formula:(1hour / 575mi) * (821,000,000mi) = 1,427,826 hours (About 2wks 2days 12hrs 37mins), assuming it could fly nonstop.
