How long would it take to travel at a speed of 90 kilometres per hour from the Earth to Makemake?

Answer 1

If you waited until Makemake was at the closest point in its orbit, it would still be about 5,609,925,000 kilometers away. At 90 kilometers per hour, that would be 62,332,500 hours, or 7111 years.

Answer 2

The dwarf planet Makemake is a "Kuiper Belt Object", which orbits far out from Neptune. The travel time will depend on the speed, and so far, there is no vehicle made that can do the journey at all.

If it were critically important to do so, a crash project to launch a robotic probe to Makemake could probably be complete in about 8 years, with about 5 years travel time after launch. It would be VERY expensive, but the technologies developed would be invaluable.

Answer 3

The dwarf planet Makemake is in a fairly elliptical orbit with a perihelion of 38.5AU and an aphelion of 53AU. Traveling at the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second, it would take about 5.2 hours to travel between Earth and Makemake when they are closest together, and more like 8.6 hours when they are farthest apart.

To give you a hint about how vast space is, the nearest star to our Sun is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 Light YEARSaway.

Answer 4

Makemake is a dwarf planet located in the outer solar system, beyond Pluto. The distance between Earth and Makemake can vary as both planets orbit the Sun at different speeds. On average, it would take several decades or even centuries to travel from Earth to Makemake at a speed of 90 kilometres per hour, depending on their positions in their respective orbits.
