It varies, depending on the positions of Earth and Mars. It can be anywhere between 3 and 22 minutes. When this answer was written (6/27/2009), Mars was approximately 177 million miles from Earth which works out to about 15.84 light-minutes.

How long would it take for a radio signal from earth to reach Venus?

It takes about 5 minutes for a radio signal to travel from Earth to Venus when they are closest to each other in their orbits. Venus is approximately 38 million kilometers away from Earth at its closest point.


How many hours would it take a radio signal that's 6.00 10 to the 9 power to reach earth?

It's not clear what the number in the question refers to. The frequency or wavelength of the signal have no effect on the time required for it to reach earth. The only important number is: How far it has to travel. The signal would take 1 hour for every 670,615,200 miles it has to cover.


Which planet would receive a signal fastest?

Depending on their positions in their respective orbits, it could be Venus or Mars. The fastest would be when Venus is at inferior conjunction. That is when Venus and Earth are in line with and on the same side of the Sun. In this case the distance would be approximately 40 000 000 km and a radio signal would take approximately 2 minutes to reach Venus.

For light to travel from the sun to earth.


How old will you be when you get to the sun in light years?

I will not be able to reach the sun in terms of light years as it is within our own solar system. However, light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth so you could say it would take about 8 minutes in terms of light years to "reach" the sun.


How long it takes sunlight to reach earth?

The moon is roughly 250,000 miles from Earth and light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, so it would take about 1.30 seconds for the moonlight to reach Earth.


How long would a radar signal take to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars when the two planets are 1.5 AU apart?

It would take a radar signal 3049600 seconds to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars. Divide by 60 to get minutes and divide again to get hours.
