Pluto still exists...its just not a ';planet';.....its still pluto the something else.





Anyways, pluto's orbit is irregular, but using its average distance of 39.5 AU from the sun.





Oh, it matters if the earth and pluto are on the same side of the sn or opposite sides...........





So pluto on average is 38.5 to 40.5 AU away from us.





Sticking with 39.5 Au


thats about 5.91 * 10^9 Km


5.91 * 10^12 m


Speed of light is 299,792,458 meters / second





1.9 *10^4 seconds





about 32 minutes.


And thats not correct, i'm gonna relook at where i screwed up.


Aha


317 minutes...... 5.2 hours





Still a little off. Too many approximations. but yeah close to that.How long would it take a flying object to reach Pluto from earth at the Speed of Light?
a few minutes i think it takes sunlight 6 minutes to get from teh sun to the earth








calculate how many miles pluto is from the sun the times that by the speed of light





the speed of light is 185000 miles a second





maybe you should ask in one of the science categories they can give you a better answer
