Drive to Neptune

If you could travel in a car at 65 mph toward Neptune, you would need 4,745 years to reach it; with Neptune approximately 2 billion 702 million miles from us.

5 trillion inches away

The Sun is approximately 5,892,480,000,000 (5 trillion inches) away from us.

Travel to Alpha Centauri C

Alpha Centauri C is the nearest star to the Sun, at 4.2 light years away. But even if you can travel in the Space Shuttle which can go near speeds of 17,000 mph, you would still need approximately 169,218 years to get there.

Universe in inches

The diameter of the Universe is is currently estimated to be 93 billion light years.

This is approximately 558,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (558 sextillion miles).

In inches this would be near 35,354,880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (35 octillion inches).

Sun's light to Earth

Light from the Sun takes approximately a little over eight minutes to reach the Earth.

Throw a ball to the Sun

If you can throw a ball 300 feet, you would need to throw it 1,636,800,000 times farther to reach the Sun.

Golf on the Moon

Golf is the only sport that has ever been played on the Moon. NASA astronaut Alan Shepard hit two golf balls from the Moon's surface on February 6, 1971.

Throw a ball to the Moon

If you can throw a ball 300 feet, you would need to throw it 4,206,400 times farther to reach the Moon.

15 billion inches away

The Moon is approximately 15,143,040,000 (15 billion inches) away from us.

Drive to the Sun

If you could travel in a car at 65 mph toward the Sun, you would need 163 years to reach it; with the Sun approximately 93,000,000 miles from us.

Horse run to the Sun

If a horse can run toward the Sun at an average speed of 40 mph, it would take him 2,325,000 hours to reach it. This is over 265 years; with the Sun approximately 93,000,000 miles from us.

Drive across the Universe

The diameter of the observable Universe is currently estimated to be 93 billion light years. This is approximately 558,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (558 sextillion miles).

If you were able to drive across the Universe in a car at an average speed of 60 mph, you would need approximately 1,061,643,835,616,438,356 years (1 quintillion years).

Universe age in minutes

The age of the Universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old. This would make the Universe approximately 7,200,720,000,000,000 minutes old (7 quadrillion minutes).

Amazing size star

The largest known star is NML Cygni. It is approximately 1,426,260,000 miles in diameter.

This is equal to 7,530,652,800,000 feet (7 trillion feet) or 90,367,833,600,000 inches (90 trillion inches).

Run to the Sun

If you could run toward the Sun at approximately 15 mph, you would need 6.2 million hours to reach it. This is 708 years; with the Sun approximately 93 million miles from us.

Earth age

The Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. This is equal to 1,642,500,000,000 days or almost 40 trillion hours.

Walk around the Earth

If you can walk around the Earth near the equator (approximately 24,900 miles) at 3 mph average speed, you would need 8,300 hours to circle the Earth. This is 346 days.

Unbelievable distances

Some galaxies are 13 billion light years away. A light year is approximately six trillion miles (6,000,000,000,000).

This galaxy would be 78,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles from us (78 sextillion miles).

If you can drive at 60 mph there, you would need 1,300,000,000,000,000,000,000 hours (1 sextillion hours) to reach it.

This is 148,401,826,484,018,264 years (148 quadrillion years).

Incredible speeds

The Space Shuttle can go near speeds of 17,000 mph. This is 283.3 times faster than a car traveling at 60 mph.

Light years away

A light year is approximately six trillion miles (6,000,000,000,000).

If you drove at 60 mph in a car that far, it would take 11,415,525 years (11 million years).

If a galaxy is approximately 2.5 million light years away from us (approximately 15 quintillion miles), if you traveled at 60 mph to get there, it would take 28,538,812,785,388 years (28 trillion years).
