To circumnavigate the globe at Mach 5, which is approximately 3,836 miles per hour, would take about 4.5 hours. The Earth's circumference is roughly 24,901 miles. Therefore, dividing the total distance by the speed gives you the time required for the journey.

Magellan didn't make it the whole way himself, but his ships sailed down the east coast of South America and through the Strait of Magellan (named after him), through the Pacific, the Marianas and Guam, and on to the Philippines, which is where Magellan died. Elcano, in the only ship that survived the entire voyage, traded in the Spice Islands (Maluku), went through the Indian ocean, came around the cape of Good Hope, and then west and north back to Spain. The ship that tried to go back through the Pacific route was captured and wrecked.

The time it takes to circumnavigate the Earth depends on the mode of travel. For example, flying non-stop around the globe can take approximately 24 to 48 hours, while sailing might take several weeks to months, depending on the route and speed of the vessel. If walking, it could take several years, averaging around 15,000 to 20,000 miles. Overall, the duration varies significantly based on the method of transportation.
Magellan reached the Philippines for 8 years. From 1410-1418.
