Distance = Rate X Time
in this case
Time = Distance/Rate
= 3.6 X 10^7 miles/1400 mph
= 25714.3 hours
24 hours in a day and ~ 30 days in a month
= 720 hours in one month, so....
25714.3/720
= ~ 35.7 months
in Outer Space
A journey of 300 million miles in 15 months means that the probe traveled 20 million miles in one month. A month of 30 days means that the probe traveled about 666,666 miles per day.
A trip to Mars takes months and involves crossing several million miles of space. This is enough time for the solar widn to affect the trajectory of a space craft.

From as little as 10 miles (neutron stars) to as much as over 100 million miles.
The Arab World is around 5.14 million square miles whereas the USA is around 3.79 million square miles.
Discovery space shuttle retired on the 8th of march 2011 after traveling 148 million miles (238 182 912 kilometres).
Two million people crammed together in a space roughly 50 miles wide, and 70 miles long. Its..... pretty crammed.
In which direction? IN the direction perpendicular to the planetary plane it is just plain space. Even in the planetary plane, any point at a distance of 5900 million miles from the sun is empty most of the time.
The Indian Ocean is 28.4 million sq. miles. This is equal to 73.56 million square kilometers. It is the third largest ocean.
Astronomical Unit - A unit of measure used in space. It is the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun. 93 million miles or about 150 million kilometers.
The sun is moving through the galaxy at about a half a million miles per hour. Earth orbits the sun at about an eighth of that speed and the Milkyway Galaxy is moving at about a million miles per hour. Earths rotational speed is comparatively irrelevant. (about 1000 miles per hour) So earth is moving between .5 and 1.5 million miles per hour or .2% to .5% of the speed of light
