If there was a really big bridge, how long would it take to walk to the moon?

Question

I'm too lazy to work it out for myself! With an average walking speed of 4 mph?

Answer 1

It would take you:
59,713.75 hours
OR
2,488.08 days
OR
80 months
OR
6.7 years
The moon is 238,855 miles away from Earth.

Edit:I started out by dividing that by 4 (for 4 miles per hour) to get to how many hours. Then divided that by 24 (for hours per day) to figure out how many days. Then divided that by 31 (to figure out how many months) then divided that by 12 to figure out how many years.

Answer 2

Too lazy to divide 240,000 by 4 yourself? OK, at 4 MPH it would take 60,000 hours to walk the 240,000 miles to the Moon. That is 2,500 days or a little less than 7 years, if you walked 24 hours a day every day without stopping even for a second. If you walked 12 hours a day and took the other 12 hours each day to rest, eat, sleep and so on, it would take twice as long. By the way, 4 MPH is a pretty brisk pace! Most people walk 2-3 MPH.

Answer 3

You start by deciding two things... How far away the moon is and how fast you can walk.

The moon is 238,854 miles from earth.

An average walking speed is 3-4 mph. We'll assume 4, since we know it's a long way and we should pick up the pace.

Now the math:

238,854 / 4 = 59,713 hours

or

about 2488 days (59,713 / 24)


or

about 6.8 years (2488 / 365)

-- assuming that you didn't take any breaks along the way.

It would be quite a feat to walk that far!!!

Answer 4

I'm too lazy to reach for the calculator sitting next to me, but I'm guessing that the answer is somewhere between 3 days and 1.4 gigayears.

Answer 5

Hum... id say 41/2 years
