How long would it take a probe to travel to pluto?

Answer 1

New horizons space craft launched on January 19---2006 reached the vicinity of Pluto on 14 th July 2015. about 9myears.

This probe launched at the fastest speed ever—16.2 km/s. During its journey, it used Jupiter's gravity to gain an extra 4 km of velocity through the sling shot effect. It took roughly 9 years to reach New Horizons because this was the ideal launch window for a Pluto craft.

The time it takes for a probe to travel to Pluto depends on its speed and the specific trajectory it follows. The New Horizons probe, which was launched in 2006, took about 9.5 years to reach Pluto, arriving in July 2015.
