document.write( "The fastest plane goes 4400 km/hour. If it were to travel to the sun from earth, distance being 149.6 million km how long would this take? Convert into days and years. \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "I took the distance 149.6 million km and divided it by the speed 4400 km and this totaled 34,000 hours. Which I think is wrong!\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "This would then be 7.8 years (34,000/4,380 (hr. per year) and 2,833.4 days. \r
