If a rocket left Pluto traveling 1000 mph, how long would it take it to reach the Sun?
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.
Yes, a rocket could theoretically reach Pluto, but it would require a significant amount of time and advanced propulsion technology due to the immense distance between Earth and Pluto. As of now, no spacecraft has been sent directly to Pluto, but the New Horizons mission flew by Pluto in 2015 after a journey of almost 10 years.
The distance between Earth and Pluto varies depending on their positions in their orbits. On average, it's about 3.67 billion miles (5.9 billion kilometers) one way. A rocket traveling at typical speeds used for deep space missions would take around 9-12 years to reach Pluto.
It would take about 9.5 years for a spacecraft traveling at the speed of light to reach Pluto from the Sun. However, with current spacecraft technology, it would take around 9-12 years to travel to Pluto using a spacecraft like NASA's New Horizons.
The time it takes to reach Pluto from Earth depends on the specific trajectory and speed of the spacecraft. A spacecraft traveling at a speed of about 58,000 kilometers per hour would take approximately 9-12 years to reach Pluto, which is about 4.67 to 7.5 billion kilometers away from Earth at its farthest point.

Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric. When Pluto is at its minimum distance form the Sun, sunlight takes about 14800 seconds to reach it (just over 4 hours). At its maximum, the light takes about 24600 seconds (nearly 7 hours).
It would take a space shuttle several years to reach Pluto from the US. The exact duration would depend on the speed of the spacecraft and its trajectory. Current technology would require several decades to make such a journey.
The distance between Neptune and Pluto varies as they orbit the Sun, but on average it is about 2.7 billion miles (4.4 billion kilometers). With current technology, a spacecraft traveling at the speed of New Horizons (about 36,373 mph or 58,540 km/h) would take approximately 85 years to reach Neptune from Pluto.
Light years.
You would have to move at least 73000km/hr, or about 45300mph to reach Pluto in 9 years.
No. The New Horizons space probe reach Pluto after a little less than 10 years of travel, though it was moving too fast to land or enter into orbit when it got there. To be able to enter orbit around Pluto the probe would have needed to be launched at a lower speed for a trip of about 12 years.
800,0000
At least eight years.
