the closet distance between earth and Mars is approximately 3.39x10^7 miles. the fastest rocket leaving earth travels at an average speed of approximately 3.6x10^4 miles per hour. how many hours would it take to travel from earth to Mars
It would take approximately 944 hours to travel from Earth to Mars with the fastest rocket leaving Earth.
To determine this, divide the distance between Earth and Mars (3.39x10^7 miles) by the average speed of the rocket (3.6x10^4 miles per hour):
(3.39x10^7 miles) / (3.6x10^4 miles per hour) = 944 hours
