The orbital speed goes with the inverse square-root of distance. The Earth at 1 astronomical unit goes at 18.5 miles per second, so Mars at 1.52 astronomical units travels at 18.5/sqrt(1.52) or 15 miles/sec.

What is the orbital speed of mars?

The average orbital speed of Mars around the Sun is about 24.1 kilometers per second, or approximately 53,800 miles per hour.


How long will it take to travel to Mars at 25000 mph?

It would take approximately 4-6 months to travel to Mars at a constant speed of 25,000 mph, depending on the positions of Earth and Mars in their respective orbits. This travel time is based on the average distance between the two planets, which is about 140 million miles.


How long does it takes a rocket fron earth to mars?

That is solely a question of speed. If Mars was 100 miles away, and you were travelling at 100 miles per hour, it would take 1 hour. NASA plans on about a 9 month trip from the earth for manned flights to mars in the future.


At what speed did Apollo 11 travel?

The numbers usually given are a maximum speed of about 25,000 miles per hour.


What speed does a rocket that has to travel to mars travel?

There are many variables to consider in this question, such as the type of rocket, the distance to Mars at the time, the time involved in Lift Off from Earth, and descent to Mars, etc. Mars is orbiting the Sun, as is the Earth, which means distances are always changing. On 'average,' the distance to Mars is about: 156.9 million miles Recently (November 2011) NASA sent a rocket carrying the Curiosity Rover to Mars. It took 254 days from liftoff to landing on Mars. NASA calculated and waited until Mars was closer to Earth, which was significantly closer than the 'average' distance. The distance to Mars at this time was 'only' 127 million miles (29 million miles closer). To reach Mars in 254 days at this distance, not figuring in fine details such as liftoff and descent, the rocket carrying Curiosity had to be traveling at speeds of about 500,000 miles per day, or about 21,000 miles per hour (roughly 347 miles per minute or roughly 6 miles per second).

At what speed would a spacecraft travel to mars from earth and how long would it take?

The time it takes to travel from Earth to Mars can range from 6 to 9 months, depending on the relative positions of the two planets in their orbits. The speed of a spacecraft traveling to Mars can vary, but it typically travels at an average speed of around 24,600 miles per hour (approx. 39,600 kilometers per hour) during its journey.
