Launched in 2006, New Horizons is the fastest spacecraft to ever leave Earth. It crossed the orbit of Jupiter the next year and has been traveling nearly a million miles a day—but it still took 9.5 years for the spacecraft to reach Pluto and its moons.

In July 2015, NASA's New Horizons became the first spacecraft to visit dwarf planet Pluto. The far-traveling spacecraft also flew by an object called 2014 MU69, or Ultima Thule, in January 2019.

At the rate of 17.3 km/sec (the rate Voyager is traveling away from the Sun), it would take around 225,000,000,000,000 years to reach this distance. At the speed of light, it would take 13 billion years!

Getting to the geographic North Pole is roughly 2,291 miles over land and 1233.64 miles over sea. That's (2,291/35) + (1233.64/4.41) = 345.19 hours. Based on our assumptions, that's 19 days, 4 hours, 15 minutes. And we would have needed to stop for gas 27 times on the trip.

Asked by: Matt B, Glastonbury To get to the Moon would take a little longer though, since it's 400,000km (250,000 miles) away – around 10 times the circumference of the Earth. So it would take as long as driving around the world 10 times – just under six months.

Pluto (minor planet designation: 134340 Pluto) is an icy dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune. It was the first and the largest Kuiper belt object to be discovered. ... That definition excluded Pluto and reclassified it as a dwarf planet.

New Horizons observations of Charon confirm previous estimates of 751 miles across, about half the size of Pluto. By comparison, Earth has a diameter of 7,918 miles, making it more than five times the size of Pluto. Jupiter is by far the solar system's largest planet with a diameter of 86,881 miles.

All in all, your trip to Mars would take about 21 months: 9 months to get there, 3 months there, and 9 months to get back.

Ever since the discovery of Pluto in 1930, kids grew up learning that the solar system has nine planets. That all changed in the late 1990s, when astronomers started arguing about whether Pluto was indeed a planet.

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.

Pluto is only 1,430 miles (2,302 kilometers) in diameter and is about 1/6th the size of Earth. Pluto is actually smaller than our own Moon!

For example, the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched on Aug 20, 1977 and it reached Uranus on Jan 24 1986. So, Voyager 2 took almost nine and a half years to reach Uranus.

In fact: If you could walk from Earth to Mars at a brisk rate (about five miles per hour) it would take about 4,000 years to reach the Red Planet. If you drove a car 70 mph, it would take 228 years. If you had a 747 airlane, it would still take 32 years.

The actual flight time to circumnavigate the planet is about 40 hours. With 196 countries stretched around the planet's 47,000 kilometres girth, it would take several lifetimes to see it all!

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.

The temperature on Pluto can be as cold as -375 to -400 degrees Fahrenheit (-226 to -240 degrees Celsius).
