How Long Would it Take Us to Get to Pluto?
Once upon a time, in 1930, there was a little 11-year-old girl called Venetia. One morning, as she was eating breakfast with her grandfather, it struck her to suggest calling the newly discovered planet Pluto. And that’s exactly what happened!
Pluto is a really cool place in outer space! It's much smaller than Earth's Moon, and it has a nice heart-shaped glacier that's the size of Texas and Oklahoma combined. It’s an icy dwarf planet that is very, very far away from us. It's so cold that nothing can live on it. It's about half the size of the United States and it's so far away from the Sun that it takes over 30 years for it to go around the Sun once!
Pluto has blue skies, and it has spinning moons that look like they're dancing in the sky. There are also really tall mountains like the ones here on Earth, and when it snows, the snow is red!
Have you ever wondered how long it would take us to get to Pluto? The answer lies within the vastness of space and the technology we have available to us.
Join me on this trip to find out how long it would take us to get to Pluto!
---
From an average distance of 3.7 billion miles, or 5.9 billion kilometers, Pluto is 39 astronomical units away from the Sun. One astronomical unit is the distance from the Sun to Earth. From this distance, it takes sunlight 5.5 hours to travel from the Sun to Pluto.
That means if you take 5 hours and a half to get to work and back, the sun takes the same amount of time to get to Pluto which is really far away!
