At a distance of 238,900 miles from Earth, it would take you about 4.7 months to reach the moon at 70 miles per hour.

24,901 miles at 500 mph would require 2.08 days.
It all depends upon the acceleration. A fast car can probably do it in under 10 seconds. Driving economically would take much longer. A jet plane can do it quicker.
The earth's escape velocity is approx 25,000 miles per hour so at 70 mph you would ot be able to leave earth!Space rockets do not travel in a straight line. Instead, they first orbit the earth and then use a kind of sling-shot effect to travel across space. The distance travelled, therefore bears little relation to the distance between the earth and the moon.However, a journey as long as the earth-moon distance, at 70 mph, would take a little over 142 days.
Easy answer: it would take 72 years.
approximately 8.33seconds
Earth is 588 million kilometers away from Jupiter. On a space shuttle, it would take about 2 years to reach Jupiter from Earth.
It would take 100 Earth years for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth.
25,000 years.
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to reach Earth.
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to reach the Earth.
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.
It would take the Earth around 93 million miles to reach halfway to the Sun in its orbit. Earth's average distance from the Sun is about 93 million miles, so halfway would be approximately half of that distance.
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
From the core, photons take about a million years to reach the surface. From there, they are free to travel and only take just over 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
Polaris (North Star) is about 433 light years from us, so that is how long light will take to reach us.
