Keep in mind that radio waves are measured, and travel by the wavelength and frequency. If you know any information about the signal (strength, wavelength, frequency, etc), these can often be translated to total energy and speed of travel. This calculation can be general, or made very precise (often involving an interesting constant, the "permittivity of free space"). Remember that frequency is often measured in inverse distance units, so 1/cm or cm^-1. These can be easily converted to standard units (meters) and translate to energy and speed. Using the distance from Venus to Earth, the total time to travel can be determined.

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.


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 long would it take a message sent as radio waves from Earth to reach the venus?

Anywhere between 2minutes 18seconds and 14minutes 20seconds, depending on where the two planets are in their respective orbits.


What can you do if you were ever to go visit the planet venus?

Well, you really couldn't do anything, since the temperatures of Venus are around 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I guess you could take pictures of the surface since our closest view of the planet's surface is from radio waves since the planet is enveloped in a thick cloud of Carbon Dioxide.


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


Why would Earth be the brightest of all the 8 planets from a distance?

The Earth emits more radio waves than any other planet in our solar system due to human technology. So using a radio telescope, the Earth would appear to be the brightest planet from a distance.


How long would it take radio signals to travel from Earth to Venus and back if Venus were at its farthest distance from Earth?

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 is the closest planet to the earth right now?

Every planet revolves around the sun, each one taking a different amount of time to complete one revolution. So the distance between Earth and any other planet changes over a wide range, depending on whether we're both on the same side of the sun or on opposite sides.At any given time, the planet closest to Earth could be either Mercury, Venus, or Mars. Jupiter (the next planet out) at its closest is further away than Mercury or Venus at their furthest, so it has to be one of those three.The planet that can be closest to Earth when we're both in the same part of our orbits is Venus. The minimum distance between us and Venus is about 25.5 million miles, or about 28% of the distance from earth to the sun.======================================While we're on the subject, this is also a good time to mention Mars.After Venus, Mars is the next nearest planet to Earth. When everything is right, the closest Mars can get to the earth is about 48.5 million miles.That's more than half the distance from Earth to the sun; at that distance, it takes light (and radio communication with the two rovers on the surface) a little over 4 minutes to travel between Mars and Earth. And that's the closest that Mars can be to Earth.The next time this will happen will be next January (2010). The night of January 29th will be an exceptionally fine time to go out and have a look.In the weeks or months before that date, you're sure to hear the usual rumors and scare stories about how Mars is coming so close to the earth that it'll appear bigger than the moon, and life as we know it will come to an end.Go out and see it any time after sunset on January 29th, just a few hours after the true minimum approach, and you'll see Mars just above the full moon. It'll be red, and really bright ... for Mars ... but nowhere near the size or brightness of the moon, looking a lot more beautiful than dangerous. If life as we know it does not come to an end that night, please remember that you heard it here first, and then go back inside and sleep well. OVERALL VENUS IS THE CLOSEST FOR THE LONGEST TIMEVenus is the closest planet to the EarthEDIT:Mercury travels closer than mars at the minimum distance of 44,7 million km.Venus.
