How long would it take to get to mercury from the sun by car?

Answer 1

Mercury orbits the sun at an average distance of about 36 million Mercury is the planet nearest the sun. It has a diameter of 3,032 miles (4,879 kilometers), about two-fifths of Earth's diameter. Mercury orbits the sun at an average distance of about 36 million miles (58 million kilometers), compared with about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) for Earth.

Because of Mercury's size and nearness to the brightly shining sun, the planet is often hard to see from the Earth without a telescope. At certain times of the year, Mercury can be seen low in the western sky just after sunset. At other times, it can be seen low in the eastern sky just before sunrise. so it would be hard to find it in a car but

Answer 2

In the unlikely event that an automobile was launched into space, there is no oxygen for the driver to breathe, there are no roads to drive on, there is no gravity to hold the car on the road, and the driver would be exposed to lethal doses of radiation long before he got to the scorching orbit of Mercury.

Answer 3

The distance from the Earth to Mercury varies from around 80 million km to 220 million km, depending on where the two planets are in their orbits.

At 80 km per hour (50 mph), that distance would take 1 million to 2.75 million hour. That is, between 114 and 314 years. Of course, the car would not be able to stop at Mercury but would be drawn into the Sun by solar gravity!

Answer 4

Traveling from the sun to Mercury by car is not feasible, as the extreme heat and radiation in the vicinity of the sun would make it impossible for any vehicle to survive. Additionally, the distance between the sun and Mercury is about 36 million miles, making it an astronomically long and dangerous journey to attempt by car.
