JAKARTA – Discourse of humans settling on Mars already exists, it takes 7 months with a distance of 480 million kilometers. However, if a spacecraft wants to reach the planet Neptune, it will take dozens of years.
This is because Neptune is the most distant planet from the sun, and the last planet of the solar system.
Space travel is often told in various science fiction films, where a person is able to travel through space quickly and even in just a few minutes or hours.
Of course, what is presented in the film will be different from the reality. Because until now space travel is still a thing
expensive and difficult experiments to perform.
Especially trips to reach outer planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, with a distance of billions of kilometers.
Travel Time from Earth to Neptune
However, to answer the curiosity of many people, NASA has provided an explanation of the distance and travel time to all the planets in the solar system.
NASA reveals that the journey from Earth to Neptune will take 18.3 years, or 6,696 days, or 160,714 hours.
Neptune itself is indeed the outermost planet in the solar system. The distance from the sun to Neptune itself is more than 4.5 billion kilometers.
This distance is farther than other outer planets such as Jupiter which is 780 million km away, Saturn with 1.4 billion km, and Uranus 2.8 billion km.
This conclusion was drawn based on the calculation of the distance from Earth to Neptune divided by the speed that allows it to be used in outer space.
