IS THERE A WEBSITE FOR CALCULATING SPEED AND DISTANCE IN SPACE

Too many places, too many variables. For example could gravitational assist be used?

Professor, that is a trick question, right?

A rose, by any other name, is still a rose.

Time times speed equals distance. Or specific to your question, distance divided by speed equals time. The Windows OS has a built-in calculator.

Example if I wanted to know how long it would take to travel 2 light years at 1 million miles per hour is there a website were I could type in the distance and then the speed and then the answere would be worked out for me.

Using Ecosia as a search engine, I found

http://hubblesite.org/reference_desk/calculators_and_charts/

There, I converted 2 lightyears into 11,757,371,214,486.42 miles. Moved the decimal left six places for the number of hours. Divided the result by 24 hours, divided it again by 365 days, giving us approx. 1,350 Earth years to travel two light years at an average speed of one million miles per hour. Not counting on longevity in life expectancy, an average life span of 35 years space-faring results in 40 generations of parents begetting children, with the last batch reaching the milestone.

Is there a website that will do the converting behind the scenes? Not likely. Hard to predict, and therefore program for what an internet surfer might ask or input. I agree that there should be a simple astronomical T x S = D webpage somewhere.

so how far has Voyager 1 gone, and how long would it take to catch Voyager at a million miles per hour, more so how long would it take to reach each of the major planetary bodys at a million miles per hour.

This might help:

Just for fun, I roughly calculated how long it would take to reach the speed of light accelerating at one G. My answer is about 969 years. Maybe someone here might wish to check my math.
