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.
For light to travel from the sun to earth.
Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second. The time it takes for light to travel to Jupiter depends on the distance between Earth and Jupiter, which varies as they orbit the sun. On average, light takes about 33 minutes to travel from Earth to Jupiter when they are at their closest approach.
If you could travel from Earth to the Sun without stopping at a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, then it would take you 17 years!
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
The travel time from Earth to Uranus can vary greatly depending on the positions of the two planets in their respective orbits. On average, it would take a spacecraft traveling at typical speeds approximately 9-10 years to reach Uranus.
It would take about 22.5 minutes.
For light to travel from the sun to earth.
8 minutes, as that is the time it takes for the light from the sun to travel to the earth.
Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second. The time it takes for light to travel to Jupiter depends on the distance between Earth and Jupiter, which varies as they orbit the sun. On average, light takes about 33 minutes to travel from Earth to Jupiter when they are at their closest approach.
The speed of an S wave in the Earth's crust is typically around 3.7 km/s. In 22 minutes, an S wave would travel approximately 4884 km.
From where ? ? ? From the sun: 12min 40sec From the earth when Mars is closest: 4min 21sec From the earth when Mars is farthest: 20min 59sec
Approx 14 minutes and 20 seconds.
Think about it: 80miles/hr and there are 60 minutes in an hour. So if you travel 80 miles in 60 minutes, then in half an hour (30 minutes) you would travel 40 miles. In a quarter of an hour (15 minutes) you would travel 20 miles.
You would travel 33.3 miles every four minutes.
If you traveled at the speed of light (a current impossibility), you would travel from Earth to the Sun in an average of 8 minutes. Or would you? I suspect that you would burn up well before the 8 minutes were up.
Sunlight takes 8.4 minutes to travel 93 million miles to Earth. It would take us that long to reach the Sun at light speed.
How would the earth travel around the earth?
