According to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory website (refer to the link, below), the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched from Florida on October 15, 1997 (EST) and reached Saturn on June 30, 2004 (PDT), which means that it took the spacecraft 6 years, 8 months, 16 days (including the arrival date).
What else can I help you with?
Which three planets have more than 15 moons?
Jupiter and Saturn each have 60 or more known moons. In Saturn's case, there are many small moonlets in the ring system. In Jupiter's case, a number of small moons (likely captured asteroids) have comparatively long and elliptical orbits far from the planet.
How long does it take to travel to Jupiter by Car?
It is not possible to travel to Jupiter by car due to the vast distance and the fact that Jupiter is a gas giant planet with no solid surface to land on.
How long does planet Jupiter take to travel once around earth?
It takes Jupiter approximately 12 years to orbit the sun.
How long does it take to get to Saturn from the earth?
It takes about 6.7 years for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Saturn, depending on the specific trajectory and speed of the spacecraft. The distance between Earth and Saturn can vary as both planets orbit around the Sun at different speeds.
Which planets are visible without a telescope?
Venus is the brightest light in the sky except for the Sun and moon when it is out. Also, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are readily visible in the night sky. Mercury is visible, but only right before sunrise or after sunset.
Does Saturn Jupiter Neptune and Uranus have long orbits?
Yes.
How long is a day on neptune Pluto Jupiter and Saturn?
244 hours

What planet were voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes sent to study?
Two identical spacecrafts know as Voyager 1 & 2 were designed to study Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 was launched first on August 20, 1977 and its sister craft Voyager 1 went into space on September 5, 1977. Even though Voyager 1 left almost a month after its counterpart, it arrived at Jupiter on March 5, 1979 almost four months sooner than Voyager 2 which arrived on July 9, 1979. The spacecrafts continued to function long past their planned 5 year mission. Voyager 1 continued to orbit Saturn and further study the planet itself as well as its moons, while Voyager 2 went on to study Uranus, Neptune, their moons, and finally was sent on a path into interstellar space where it continues to transmit data. In their joint mission, Voyager 1 & 2 explored all the giant outer planets of the solar system, 48 of the planets' moons, and each of the planets' systems of rings and magnetic fields. Before its long journey in interstellar space, Voyager 2 captured a picture looking across our entire solar system. The information that scientists collected from the Voyager crafts would answer many key questions in astronomy while raising many more new questions which have yet to be answered.
How long does it take to travel to Jupiter by Car?
It is not possible to travel to Jupiter by car due to the vast distance and the fact that Jupiter is a gas giant planet with no solid surface to land on.
How did Jupiter Saturn Neptune and Pluto get their names?
They got their name from the ancience gods a long time ago
Have there been manned missions to the outer planets?
No, there have not been any manned missions to the outer planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. All of the missions to these planets have been conducted by robotic spacecraft. The extreme distances, harsh environment, and long duration of the journey make it currently impractical for human travel to these distant worlds.
How long would it take to travel from earth to Jupiter?
around two years
How long would it take for a space shuttle to travel to Saturn?
long time compare to earth
How long does planet Jupiter take to travel once around earth?
It takes Jupiter approximately 12 years to orbit the sun.
How long would it take to travel Saturn in your car?
It depends how fast you are going.
What was the first planet to be found?
Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Saturn have been visible to the naked eye as long as mankind can remember.
