Answer:
An estimate for the time it will take for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars is approximately 138.8 days
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between Earth and the Moon = 684,400 km
The distance between Earth and Mars = 220.58 × 10⁶ km
The distance between Earth and Pluto = 5.2241 × 10⁹ km
The ratio of the distance between Earth and Pluto and the distance between Earth and Mars = (5.2241 × 10⁹ km)/(220.58 × 10⁶ km) ≈ 23.683
It took 2006 to 2015 (9 years) to travel from Earth to Pluto, therefore, it can take approximately (9 years)/(23.683) ≈ 0.38 of a year which is ((9 years)/(23.683)) × 365.2422 ≈ 138.8 days for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars
