It would take thousands of years for a jumbo jet to reach the sun, as the sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth. The distance is far beyond the capabilities of any current aircraft. Additionally, the extreme heat and radiation close to the sun would make it impossible for a jumbo jet to survive the journey.

Is a jet faster than the speed of sound?

That depends on the jumbo jet. The Concord was capable of super-sonic speed, even though it was not considered to be a Jumbo Jet. An L1011 or 747 cannot approach the speed of sound because of wing configuration. They are designed for economical air travel at sub-sonic speeds, and any attempts to approach the speed of sound would be disastrous. But if engineers designed a jumbo jet to travel at super-sonic speeds, it would be perfectly safe.


How long would it take a typical jet to travel to the sun from earth in minutes?

A typical commercial jet travels at about 500 miles per hour. The average distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately 93 million miles. At that speed, it would take roughly 190,000 hours, or about 11.4 million minutes, to make the journey. Thus, a jet would take an impractically long time to reach the Sun.


How long would it take to get to mercury by jumbo jet?

Assuming the speed of the jumbo jet was 550 mph and that Earth and Mercury were at their smallest distance (the distance changes with the orbit) of about 48 million miles we can conclude:Time = Distance / SpeedTime = (48,000,000 mi) / (550 mi / hr)Time =~ 87,300 hours =~ 3640 days =~ 10.0 yearsIt should be noted: that an assumption was made that this was even possible (no atmosphere, escape velocity of the earth, etc.)In reality the answer here is, it wouldn't be able to make it.


How long would it take to fly to Neptune on a jet?

Like in the question How long would it take to drive by car from earth to neptune? it's not the easiet thing to do, and it would take longer than your life time, about one hundred years, give or take. It's about 2,700,000,000 mile journey and nearly impossible to make, but if you did, you'd probably die before you made it.... Hope this helped Wolfgirl3252 == ==


How long would it take to get to mars when your on a jet?

It's currently not possible to fly a jet directly to Mars due to the vast distance and differences in atmosphere. Traveling to Mars would require a spacecraft, such as those used by NASA or other space agencies, and can take several months depending on the specific trajectory and technology used.
