Speed of light = 186,282 miles per second. Earth's average distance from the sun is 93,000,000 miles. Pluto's average distance from the sun is 3,670,000,000 miles. If Earth and Pluto were both at those distances and lined up so that the distance between them was minimum, then the time required for light to travel from one to the other would be roughly: [ (3.67 x 109) - (9.3 x 107) ] / (186,282) = 3,577,000,000 / 186,282 = 19,202 seconds = 5 and 1/3 hours

How many times further is the orbit of Pluto than the earth?
The orbit of Pluto is about 39 times further away from the Sun than Earth's orbit. Pluto's average distance from the Sun is about 39.5 astronomical units, while Earth's average distance is about 1 astronomical unit.
How far is Pluto from the moon?
Pluto is about 5,913 million km from the sun (on average). Earth is about 150 million km from the sun. Pluto is about 5,763 million km from Earth, so Pluto is about the same distance from our moon.
How many millimeters from earth to Pluto?
The average distance from Earth to Pluto is about 4.28 billion kilometers, which translates to approximately 4.28 trillion millimeters. However, this distance varies significantly due to the elliptical orbits of both Earth and Pluto. At their closest, they can be about 4.28 billion kilometers apart, and at their farthest, this distance can exceed 7.5 billion kilometers.
How far is Pluto from Neptune in miles?
This distance varies every day as Saturn and Pluto take up different positions in their respective orbits.
How far is the Earth from Pluto?
Pluto is about 5,913 million km far from the sun (on average). Earth is about 150 million km far from the sun. Earth is about 5,763 million km far from Pluto. BUT PLUTO IS NOT PLANET ANYMORE
What is the average distance between earth and Pluto?
About 40 AU.
What Pluto average distance from the sun?
Pluto's jouney around the sun takes about 248.4 earth yaers
How many times further is the orbit of Pluto than the earth?
The orbit of Pluto is about 39 times further away from the Sun than Earth's orbit. Pluto's average distance from the Sun is about 39.5 astronomical units, while Earth's average distance is about 1 astronomical unit.
The temp of Pluto?
Pluto is one of the coldest celestial bodies, with an average surface temperature of -380 F. Pluto is 30 to 50 times the Earth's distance from the sun.
How far is Pluto from the moon?
Pluto is about 5,913 million km from the sun (on average). Earth is about 150 million km from the sun. Pluto is about 5,763 million km from Earth, so Pluto is about the same distance from our moon.
How close is Pluto?
That's a difficult question to answer precisely. Pluto's average distance from the Sun is 39.4 AU. (An AU is an Astronomical Unit and is defined as the average distance between the center of the Earth and the center of the Sun.) One AU equals 92,955,807 million miles, or about 93 million miles, but Pluto's distance from the Sun ranges from 29.7 to 49.3 AU. So, depending on the orbits of Pluto and Earth, the distance between the two could be anywhere from 28.7 AU (Earth directly between Pluto and Sun when Pluto is closest to the Sun) to 50.3 AU (Earth directly opposite Sun from Pluto when Pluto is furthest from the Sun). However, keep in mind that an AU is an average and that Earth's actual orbit varies anywhere from 91 to 94.5 million miles. Hope that helps.
How far is Pluto from Neptune in miles?
This distance varies every day as Saturn and Pluto take up different positions in their respective orbits.
Plutos shortest distance from the sun?
In my opinion Pluto, has an average distance from the Sun of 5.913 x (10 to the 9th power) km. Earth has an average distance from the Sun of 150,000,000 km.
How far is the Earth from Pluto?
Pluto is about 5,913 million km far from the sun (on average). Earth is about 150 million km far from the sun. Earth is about 5,763 million km far from Pluto. BUT PLUTO IS NOT PLANET ANYMORE
How many miles is Pluto from the Earth?
When I was a kid Pluto was closer to the sun than Neptune. Now it is further away. The distance between Pluto and earth will vary as Pluto orbits the sun--Pluto's orbit is fairly eccentric. At aphelion (furthest distance from the sun) Pluto is 48.871 AU (average earth/sun distance) from the sun. That is 4.542 billion miles. When the earth is on the opposite side of the sun, that would maximize the distance to Pluto at close to 4.635 billion miles (4.542 billion plus 93 million). Pluto will reach its next maximum distance from us in 2113, just over a century from now (2012). At its closest Pluto is 29.657 AU from the sun, or 2.757 billion miles. Some time during 1989 earth and Pluto were lined up on the same side of the sun, and the distance between them was minimized to roughly 2.664 billion miles.
What is the distance betwen earth and Pluto?
At its closest, Pluto is around 4,436,824,613 km from the sun. Taking off the earth to sun distance of 150 million km, the closest that Pluto will get to earth is around 4,286,800,000km. At its furthest Pluto would be around 6,050,000,000km from earth
Earth is 1.5 x 1 km from the sun and Pluto averages 5.9 x 10 km from the sun during its rather strange orbit?
Pluto orbits the sun at an average distance of about 5.9 billion kilometers, while Earth is around 150 million kilometers away from the sun. This makes Pluto's average distance from the sun significantly farther than Earth's.
