How long does it take for sound to travel from Jupiter?

Planet Distance in Astronomical Units Travel Time
Jupiter 5.203 43.2 minutes
Saturn 9.538 79.3 minutes
Uranus 19.819 159.6 minutes
Neptune 30.058 4.1 hours

How long does it take a radio to get to Jupiter?

Radio waves travelling at 300,000 km/second would take approximately 35 minutes to reach a satellite orbiting Jupiter depending on alignment, and the same time to travel back to Earth, equaling about 1.2 hours.

How long would it take to travel from Earth to Jupiter?

The distance between Earth and Jupiter depends on the orbits of each planet but can reach more than 600 million miles. Depending on what the missions do and where they go, it can take around two years to six years to reach Jupiter.

How long will it take to travel to Pluto?

about 680 years
With a maximum velocity of 590 miles per hour, the trip to Pluto will only take about 680 years. Which really puts things into perspective when considering just how wild it is that we have a spacecraft about to reach Destination Pluto. Launched in January of 2006, it now travels at more than 50,000 miles per hour.

How long would it take to travel 4.25 light-years?

Last year, astronomers raised the possibility that our nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri, has several potentially habitable exoplanets that could fit the bill. Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light-years from Earth, a distance that would take about 6,300 years to travel using current technology.

How fast can we travel in space?

For centuries, physicists thought there was no limit to how fast an object could travel. But Einstein showed that the universe does, in fact, have a speed limit: the speed of light in a vacuum (that is, empty space). Nothing can travel faster than 300,000 kilometers per second (186,000 miles per second).
