The number of years it will take for the rocket ship to get to pluto is:
<h3>How is the number of years obtained?</h3>
The number of years can be obtained through the formula:
Speed = distance/ time taken
First, the minimum distance in miles from earth to pluto is 2.6 billion miles.
Given that 1 km is equal to 1000 meters, this figure will translate to 4.28 billion kilometers.
So, distance = 4,280,000,000 Km
Speed = 36,695.2946 feet per second.
1ft/s = 9612.17 km/calendar year.
Thus, total speed = 36,395.2946 * 9612.17
= 352,702,185.5528
Therefore: Distance/speed
= 4,280,000,000 / 352,702,185.5528
= 12.13 Years
