How long it would take to get to Neptune from Earth would depend on the path chosen and on where Neptune and Earth were in their orbits when the mission was launched. For example, the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched on Aug 20, 1977 and it reached Neptune on Aug 24, 1989. So, Voyager 2 took about twelve years to reach Neptune.

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 == ==
