does it take a year to reach the outer space? Reply. The American space shuttle (now retired) achieved this height of 100km at approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds into flight, then reached its initial orbit at an altitude between 300 and 500km generally at about 8 minutes 30 seconds into the flight. The Russian Soyuz rocket achieves similar times.
Here's a questionâ¦ how long does it take sunlight to reach Earth? This sounds like a strange question, but think about it. Sunlight travels at the speed of light. Photons emitted from the surface of the Sun need to travel across the vacuum of space to reach our eyes. The short answer is that it takes sunlight an average of 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to the Earth. If the Sun suddenly disappeared from the Universe (not that this could actually happen, don't panic), it would take a little more than 8 minutes before you realized it was time to put on a sweater.
