At the speed of the Monkey King, how long can you reach Mars from Earth?

Both Earth and Mars are in the solar system, with the Sun as the center, Mars and Earth on each side, so it can be said that the distance between the two planets is very far. Sun Wukong is too familiar to us, and we often see him in Journey to the West turning over 108,000 miles with a somersault cloud, which is very fast, and it will reach the sky in one swoop. Many people have made a conjecture, according to the speed of Sun Wukong, how long can it take to reach Mars from Earth?

In fact, it can be reached in about two and a half hours.

Let's simply make a measurement of the time of Sun Wukong's somersault, which is about one second. 108,000 miles is almost 54,000 kilometers, and the speed that can reach 54,000 square kilometers in one second can be said to be very fast. But compared to the speed of light, the speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second.

Because the planets are rotating, the distance between the Earth and Mars is also changing. At its farthest it was 400 million kilometers, and at the closest it was about 5,000 kilometers. After calculation, Sun Wukong only needs to turn 9,000 heels to arrive, which is about 9,000 seconds.

That's about two and a half hours.

We all know that "Journey to the West" is a myth**, and the plot in it is also fictional, although Sun Wukong can turn 108,000 miles with a heel fight, but he also needs to rest in the process of turning, and after turning 9,000 heels, he may have been dizzy and can't find the southeast and northwest. We just calculated that it would take him two and a half hours to reach Mars.

In addition, I want to say again, what we usually call somersault clouds, which can be seen from the literal meaning, must have clouds to do so. However, clouds are only found in the earth, and when he turns out of the earth and reaches the vacuum, there are no clouds to supply him with somersaults. So from a scientific point of view, Sun Wukong can't reach Mars.

It's just that based on his speed and mathematically, we can calculate that it will take him two and a half hours to reach Mars.

The distance from the earth to the sun is 149597892 kilometers, and Sun Wukong is 108,000 miles on his heels, which is about 54,000 kilometers. So it takes about 2,771 heels.

According to the speed of the Monkey King somersault cloud, it is still very fast to Mars, even if it is like InSight using the Hohmann transfer orbit to form 100 million kilometers, it only takes about 9,000 seconds, and the hour is there. The Monkey King is powerful and does not require fuel, so it is faster without the Homan transfer method at all.

Sun Wukong's somersault is 108,000 miles, calculated according to one somersault per second, 10,000 kilometers per second, and the shortest distance from the earth to Mars is about 55 million kilometers, which is more than 1,000 seconds, less than 20 minutes.
