An alternator typically lasts between 80,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and maintenance. Factors such as heat, vibrations, and electrical load can impact its lifespan. Regular inspections and addressing electrical issues promptly can help extend its longevity. If you notice signs of failure, such as dimming lights or battery warning lights, it's best to have it checked.
I have a 2003 Yukon with 211,000 miles, the only thing I have reoplaced is the battery and the alternator.
Impossible to answer as it depends on use and abuse. Normal use will see no need to replace one on a modern car.
In my experience burning out alternators on a Pontiac and an Oldsmobile, you can get about 100,000 miles out of it before expecting to replace the alternator.
Spark Plugs do not affect your alternator. As long as your engine is running then it should be charging unless your alternator is bad
It should take around about an hour, varies on if you have anything ready.
Antarctica should last as long as the earth lasts.
Should last about 30 minutez
Either the life of the vehicle, or 100,000 - 200,000 miles. However mine has gone at 3,000, which is why I am embroiled in a dispute over the £400 cost from a Ford Main Stealer!
It should last five to six minutes.

A properly configured sealed terrarium should last indefinitely.
It depends on just how 'bad' the alternator is, but generally, not very long. You can actually drive your car until there is not enough electrical charge to spark across the spark plugs, and your car just stops, unable to start again.
