Journey through the Solar System (6 photos) Bashny.Net

The highest speed in the universe - it is the speed of light, about 1 billion km / h for 1 year light overcomes the distance 9760800000 000 km.

Record speed of the spacecraft 240 thousand. Km / h has been set by the German-American solar probe "Helios-B ', launched 15 January 1976 Mr.

Average vehicle speed 100km / h

The average speed of a person walking 6 km per hour.

To understand what distance separates us from cosmic objects go to him these three ways.

1. The first object in space, of course moon.



just one hour will take our journey on the probe "Helios-B" On the car journey will last for 160 days, almost six months and 5 years, we will go on foot.

2. Next stop Mars. Minimum distance from Mars to Earth is 56 million kilometers away is achieved time in 17 years.



On space probe mission would take only 9 days, but for a car that would take nearly 63 years of continuous drive.

But the walk to go to Mars 799 years! By the time of arrival at Mars on Earth had already had dozens of generations.

3. Next, we are waiting for the sun, our star. The probe is required to fly for 26 days, nearly a month of flight.



The car should go 173 long years that would achieve our star

Brisk walk we get to the sun 2168 years, perhaps until the time we go humanity on earth will cease to exist.

4. And here is the last planet in our solar system, Pluto. Distance is a serious 5, 6 billion kilometers of flight 3 years separate us from him.



6392, the car speed when it will get to the last planet. A person must be almost 90,000 years.

5. The nearest star, Proxima Centauri sun neighbor, it is on the left in the picture flickers red. It is located at a distance of 4 light-years from Earth, or 39,043,200,000,000 km. Probe the flight will require 18,750 years to reach it.



The car is also necessary to spend on the path of 4, 5 million years, the person on this walk is necessary to spend 557 million years.

6. A neighbor of our galaxy - the Andromeda galaxy, the distance to her incredible 2, 5 million light years! or 97608000000000000000 km is difficult to imagine the number and especially its title.

Probe require 46 billion years, that would fly to her, and there is more than the known universe, the time on the site of the Andromeda galaxy will be a completely new and possibly more galaxies will be replaced at that time.



Next consider already very difficult and even pointless, as an example of the space objects are clear distance.
