Practical Answer If the distance between Earth and Venus is to be maximum, then the two planets would have to be on opposite sides of the Sun. There would be no way to send radio waves to Venus in this situation as the waves cannot travel through the Sun. So, in reality, this question has no answer.



Theoretical Answer For the sake of curiosity, lets assume the waves travel through the Sun in a straight line.: Earth's average distance from the sun = 93,000,000 miles Venus' average distance from the sun = 67,200,000 miles Max separation (opposite directions from the sun) = 160,200,000 miles Speed of radio (light) = 186,282 mi/sec Time for a radio or radar return = 2 x (160,200,000 / 186,282) = 1,720 seconds = 28-2/3 minutes(rounded)

What formula is used to figure the time it takes a radio signal to travel from Mars to Earth?

Radio waves, like all other waveforms in the electromagnetic spectrum travel at what is known as the speed of light. i.e. 3x10 to the power 8 metres per second (300,000,000) but the distance between the earth and mars varies enormously depending on their relative positions in their orbits around the sun. Anything from approx 35 million miles at it's nearest to about 340 million miles or thereabouts at it's furthest. So roughly 3 minutes minimum to about 30 minutes maximum.


What is radio echo method?

Radio echo method is used for measuring the distance of heavenly bodies. Radio signals are sent towards a planet. These signals are reflected back from the surface of the planet. The time (t) taken for the signal in going to the planet and coming back to earth is noted. The signal travels through a velocity (c).The distance (s) of the planet from Earth is given by,s = ct/2


What is a method of determining accurate locational information using radio signals from satellites?

A method of determining accurate locational information using radio signals from satellites is the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS utilizes a network of satellites that transmit time-stamped signals to receivers on the Earth's surface. By calculating the time it takes for these signals to reach the receiver, the system can triangulate the receiver's position based on the distance from multiple satellites. This allows for precise location determination anywhere on Earth.

Which type of modification of radio waves sends signals the farthest?

The working distance depends a lot on the receiver that's being used to pick it up.The Pioneer-11 spacecraft was launched in 1973. The last radio contact with itoccurred in 1995, when it was 4 billion milesfrom Earth. Communication mighthave laster longer, but its on-board power source ran out of gas at that point.The spacecraft transmitted just a few watts of radio power, at microwavefrequencies. But the antennas that were used to receive its signals are disheshundreds of feet across, with supercooled electronics.

How long does it take a message to travel from Earth to a spacecraft on Mars at its farthest from Earth about 400 million rm km?

We'll take your word for it and use the distance of 400 million km.The speed of radio (and light, heat, UV, X-ray, etc.) is 300,000 km/sec.Time = (400 x 106) / (300 x 103) = 1,333 seconds = 22.2 minutes
