The answer to this question depends on many things. First of all, different people walk at different speeds, but most people walk at a rate of between two and three miles every hour.

A slow walker (one travelling 2mph) would take almost 605 hours, or about 25 days. A fast walker (going 3mph) would make the same trip in 403 hours, or 17 days. So the simple answer is: "Probably between 17 and 25 days".

The problem with these calculations, though, is that in the above examples, our walkers never stopped to eat, rest, sleep or take bathroom breaks. These delays could add a lot of time to the trip. If our walker slept for 8 hours each day, and spent the rest of the time walking, the trip would take between 25 and 37 days, depending on walking speed. If the walker slept for 8 hours each day, but also spent three hours a day finding a place to sleep, buying food to eat on the go, and getting ready each morning, we are looking at 31 to 46 days.

Also, someone who is out of shape might have to rest more. If the walker is carrying a lot of supplies, they may travel more slowly. People also travel more slowly over rough or rocky terrain, or if they spend a lot of the time heading up hill. There are so many things that can affect the answer, that it is very difficult to calculate how long it would take to complete this journey.

Realistically, for most people, though, a journey of 1209 miles would probably take from 4 to 7 weeks. It isn't really possible to get more precise without a lot more information.

How long does it take to walk around the world at 3 miles per hout at the equator?

To calculate how long it would take to walk around the world at 3 miles per hour at the equator, you need to determine the circumference of the Earth at the equator, which is approximately 24,901 miles. At a walking pace of 3 miles per hour, it would take about 8,300 hours or 345 days to walk around the world.


How long will it take carlos to walk 6 miles if he is walking 2 mph?

It will take 3 hours.


How long would it take you to walk to mars?

It would take over 2.5 years to walk to Mars, assuming you could walk non-stop at an average speed of 3 mph. This distance is over 33.9 million miles away from Earth on average. Walking to Mars isn't currently feasible with our current technology.


How long to walk around the planet?

It would take an incredibly long time to walk around the entire planet, estimated to be about 25,000 miles in circumference. Walking non-stop at an average pace of 3 miles per hour, it would take roughly 3,000 hours or 125 days to complete the journey. However, this is not a feasible or realistic endeavor for a single person due to factors like terrain, weather, and logistics.


How long would it take a human to walk 120 miles?

Good question. It would depend on how fast you walked. If you walked 3 miles per hour then it would take you 40 hours. (3x40=120) That doesn't sound like very long does it? But figuring that you have to rest, eat and drink, and get rid of what you ate and drank, it will take you longer. If you walk at 3 miles per hour and walk for 10 hours a day you will cover 30 miles a day. (3x10=30) And in four days you will reach your destination. (30x4=120).
