How long does it take a message to travel from Earth to Pluto at its average distance from Earth?
Let's simplify this in every possible way we can.
Earth travels a nearly-circular path around the sun, with an average radius of 93 million miles.
Pluto travels a less-circular path around the sun, with an average distance of 3.67 billion miles,
and tilted 17.2 degrees to the plane of the earth's orbit.
Let's ignore the tilt, assume both orbits are circular, and the average distance is the radius of the respective circle.
Then the MINIMUM distance from Pluto to Earth occurs when they're lined up, i.e. both in the same direction
from the sun. At that point, they're (3,670 - 93) = 3,577 million miles apart.
The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second. So the time required to communicate ONE-WAY by radio
over this distance is
(3,577,000,000) / (186,282) = 19,202 seconds
= 5hours 20minutes
==============================================
At their MAXIMUM distance ... with earth on one side of the sun and Pluto directly across on the other side ...
the distance between them is (3,670 + 93) = 3,763 million miles.
The one-way radio time from Pluto to the Earth (directly through the sun) is
(3,763,000,000) / (186,282) = 20,201 seconds
= 5hours 37minutes

Is the average distance from earth to the sun a light-year?
No. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 8 light-minutes.It takes light 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth, in other words.The distance that light can travel in one year is one light-year.
What is the distance of planet Venus?
Assuming you mean from Earth to Venus, about 38 million Kilometers, or about 23.6 million miles.
What is the average distance of sun to the earth?
Average distance = 150,000,000 km or 93,000,000 mi
How does the distance on saturn compare to the distance of earth?
The distance between Saturn and the Earth varies as both planets travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits. On average, Saturn is about 1.2 billion kilometers away from Earth. This distance can change due to their orbits and can be as close as about 1.2 billion kilometers and as far as about 1.7 billion kilometers.
Distance the moon is from the earth?
The average centre-to-centre distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km
Is the average distance from earth to the sun a light-year?

Are the moon and the sun the same distance from earth?
No, the moon and the sun are not the same distance from Earth. The average distance from the Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles, while the average distance from the Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.
How long did it take for a message sent from Earth to reach the first astronauts on the way to the moon when they were still 10600 km away from the moon?
The time for the message to reach them should equal the speed of the message divided by the distance the message had to travel. The message would have been a radio wave so travelled at the speed of light, 300,000,000 meters per second. So all you need to know is the distance it had to travel. That will be the distance from the surface of the Earth to the Moon (in metres) minus 10,600,000.
How far do the sun's rays travel to hit the Earth?
The average distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). The sun's rays travel this distance through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth and provide light and heat.
The average distance from the sun to the earth?
The average distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. This distance is known as an astronomical unit (AU). It takes light about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the sun to the Earth at this distance.
How long does it take to travel 35000 miles from earth?
That cannot be calculated without knowing the average speed over that distance.
What distance does the moon travel around the earth?
The moon travels an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) around the Earth in its elliptical orbit. This distance can vary slightly due to the moon's elliptical path.
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
What is Jupiter's average distance from the earth?
Jupiter's average distance from the Earth is 628.76106 kilometers......The actual distance from Earth to Jupiter varies constantly as the two planets orbit the Sun, and can be any distance between 588.4 million and 968.6 million kilometers.The distance between the average radii of their orbits is about 629 million kilometers. (Earth 149.6 million kilometers to Jupiter's 778.5 million kilometers)To travel between the planets would require a much longer, curved path than the simple distance between their positions.11.85920 days
What is the distance of planet Venus?
Assuming you mean from Earth to Venus, about 38 million Kilometers, or about 23.6 million miles.
Is venus orbit smaller than that of earth?
In distance, Venus has a smaller distance to travel than The Earth
