How long does it take to travel from the sun to earth at a rate of 400 kilometers per second?

Answer 1

The Sun is approximately 93 million miles from Earth

Assuming a speed of 100 mph (To make conversion to other speeds easier)

It would take 930,000 hours or 106 years

It would use (~50 mpg) 1,860,000 gallons of fuel or 266 fuel tankers.

Answer 2

Technically, there is no answer; due to the way a jet works, it's not possible to use one in space.

If you mean "in a spacecraft travelling at the same speed as a typical commercial jet", then let's call that about 1000 km/h (a bit on the fast side; most commercial airliners have a cruising speed slightly lower than that). It's 150 million kilometers from the Earth to the Sun, so that's 150,000 hours, or a little over 17 years.

Answer 3

The average speed of a large commercial jet airliner is about 500 mph. The average distance to the Sun is 93 million miles.

93,000,000 mi / 500 mi per hour = 186,000 hours or 7750 days or approx 21 years and 3 months.

Yet light from the Sun only takes 8 minutes to reach Earth. Cool huh?

Answer 4

If you divide the distance (about 150,000,000 km.) by the speed (400 km./sec.), you will get the result in seconds. Then divide by 86400 to convert to days; if the result is still too big for your liking, divide by 365 to convert to years.
