how long would it take to get to the sun from earth?

Explanation: Sun is about 8.3 light minutes from the Earth. This means it would take 8.3 minutes for light to reach from the Surface of the Sun to reach the Earth. If you are traveling in a Jumbo Jet , it would take you about 19 years to reach the Sun.

At present, the Earth receives about 1,500 Watts of power per square meter from the Sun. In order to obtain enough power to migrate the Earth in the right amount of time, we'd need to build an array (in space) that collected that entire 4.7 × 1035 Joules of energy, evenly, over a time period of two billion years.

Jupiter, 6 Years (Galileo) Travel time to Jupiter takes around 6 years, and we've done it the hard way—using the Earth's gravity to slingshot the Galileo probe twice to make the trip.

Vega is 25 light years away. This translates to 147 trillion Earth miles. The answer is dependent on how fast you are traveling. At 50,000 miles and hour, it would take you 117,600,000 years.

Taking our distance of 240,000 miles, that works out to an average speed of 37 mph. Of course, that is 267 days of pedaling 24/7 at a considerable level of exertion. If instead you pedaled for six hours a day, it would take four times as long—so that's almost three years, and it's not even all the way to the moon.

Depending on where you are in space, this will take 12-26 hours, but if you're close to a star, you'll be burnt to a crisp instead. Either way, your body will remain that way for a long time.

Relative to the fixed stars on the celestial sphere, the Moon takes 27 Earth days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, and 12 seconds to complete one orbit; however, since the Earth–Moon system advances around the Sun at the same time, the Moon must travel further to return to the same phase.

Our solar system is moving with an average velocity of 450,000 miles per hour (720,000 kilometers per hour). But even at this speed, it takes us about 230 million years to make one complete orbit around the Milky Way. The Sun rotates as it orbits the center of the Milky Way.

The Sun is at an average distance of about 93,000,000 miles (150 million kilometers) away from Earth. It is so far away that light from the Sun, traveling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach us.

However, assuming that it is there, it is located 4.37 light-years from Earth. So traveling at light speed, it would only take a little more than 4 years to get there.

Light travels at approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 km per second). Therefore, a light shining from the surface of Mars would take the following amount of time to reach Earth (or vice versa): Closest possible approach: 182 seconds, or 3.03 minutes. Closest recorded approach: 187 seconds, or 3.11 minutes.

So if we could travel at the speed of light, it would take 736 years to get there, but at our current fastest rate of space travel, it would take around 18,000 years for each light year, so it would take around 13 million years to reach the nearest star of Orion's Belt.

The journey to Alpha Centauri B orbit would take about 100 years, at an average velocity of approximately 13,411 km/s (about 4.5% the speed of light) and another 4.39 years would be necessary for the data to reach Earth.

Answer: The Earth takes 365 ¼ days to revolve around the Sun. This is known as one Earth year. Each planet takes a different amount of time to rotate around the Sun.

If you just want to get into orbit around the Earth, you need to reach speeds of at least 4.9 miles per second, or about 17,600 miles per hour.

The pull of the Sun's gravity caused it to speed up until it reached its maximum speed of 87.71 km/s (315,800 km/h) as it passed south of the ecliptic on 6 September and made a sharp turn northward at its closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) on 9 September at a distance of 0.255 AU (23,700,000 mi; 38,100,000 km) ...

It takes the shuttle approximately 8-1/2 minutes to get to orbit. And if you think about it, we're accelerating a 4-1/2 million pound system from zero miles per hour to its orbital velocity of 17,500 miles per hour in those 8-1/2 minutes. So it's a heck of a ride for the astronauts.
