the closet distance between earth and Mars is approximately 3.39x10^7 miles. the fastest rocket leaving earth travels at an average speed of approximately 3.6x10^4 miles per hour. how many hours would it take to travel from earth to Mars

1 answer

It would take approximately 944 hours to travel from Earth to Mars with the fastest rocket leaving Earth.

To determine this, divide the distance between Earth and Mars (3.39x10^7 miles) by the average speed of the rocket (3.6x10^4 miles per hour):

(3.39x10^7 miles) / (3.6x10^4 miles per hour) = 944 hours
