It depends on a few things, like your speed, and the moon's terrain and gravity and stuff. But I'll assume for your question, you just mean if you could drive a car all the way around the moon, how long would it take. The answer to that (if we're using earth's gravity and environment) is fairly simple. Assuming that you're taking a route that is completely flat and you're going 100 km/h the entire time (a little over 60 mp/h), it would take just over 109 hours to travel around the entire moon. The equation for this is easy: The moon's equatorial circumference is 10,921 km, divide that by 100 (our speed), and you have the time it would take to travel that distance in kilometers per hour. (10921/100=109.21, or about 109 hours) For the sake of comparison, it would take about 401 hours to travel around the earth (if it were possible). The short answer: Travelling at 100 km/h (60 mph), it would take 109 hours. If you were travelling in a formula 1 racing car near its top speed (about 350 km/h or 220 mph) it would only take about 31 hours.

Assuming you could drive a car on the moon, which you can't due to its lack of atmosphere and rugged terrain, the circumference of the moon is about 6,784 miles. If you were to travel at an average speed of about 60 mph, it would take approximately 113 hours to drive around the moon without stopping.

How long would it take to drive a car to the moon at 100kmhr?

It would take over 17 years to drive a car at 100 km/hr to the moon, assuming you could drive straight up into space. The moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers away from Earth, so it would be a very long journey by car.


Why would footprints on the moon lat a really long time?

Does staring at moon for long hours drive one crazy?

Staring at the moon will probably not make you crazy. However, it might indicate that you are crazy to begin with. What sane person would want to stare at the moon for long hours?

How long would it take you to drive to the moon at the rate 50 miles per hour?

You can't drive to the Moon - there is no road or anything. For a hypothetical exercise involving the equivalent distance, just divide the distance by the speed.


How could you travel around on the moon?

walk, drive or fly


How long would it take to travel to the moon by car?

Assuming you could drive at a constant speed of 60 mph and drive directly upwards, it would take around 6 months to reach the moon. However, this is not possible as cars cannot travel in space due to the lack of oxygen and roads.

How long to ge to the moon at 70 mph?

It would take about 130 days to drive to the moon at a constant speed of 70 mph, assuming you could drive in a straight line through outer space. However, this distance is not practically drivable as there are no roads to the moon.


How long is a month on the Moon?

A month on the Moon, also known as a lunar month, is about 29.5 Earth days long. This is the time it takes for the Moon to complete a full orbit around the Earth.
