The number of years it will take for the rocket ship to get to pluto is:

  • 12. 13 years

How is the number of years obtained?

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
