Journey time to Mars, which is approximately 40 million miles away depending on its position in orbit, would be around 200 days. âGoing to Mars would make me feel like I am a true Star Trek officer,â said one applicant, Michael Archavian.
For a more detailed discussion, see the. How long does it take? It takes the Earth one year to orbit the Sun and it takes Mars about 1.9 years (say 2 years for easy calculation) to orbit the Sun. The elliptical orbit which carries you from Earth to Mars is longer than Earth's orbit, but shorter than Mars' orbit.ll in all, your trip to Mars would take about 21 months: 9 months to get there, 3 months there, and 9 months to get back. With our current rocket technology, there is no way around this.
