When it comes to the stars around our Solar System, has a handy infographic: In the real world, scientists are able to determine a stars size, type, distance and in some circumstances, if it has planets and how much mass those planets have. There are 3,600 seconds in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 37 days to this journey, so: If the ship travels 588 million km in 57 seconds, then that's an average of 10,315,789.47 km/s. Using the high and low speeds of Kami's ship, its possible to determine how far away from Earth Planet Namek actually is. This does represent a margin of error since we dont know if it was exactly 37 days or a few hours either side of that time-frame, but for the sake of argument, I will use exactly 37 days with a 12 hour margin of error. In both the manga and the anime it took Kami's space ship 37 days to make the journey from Earth to Planet Namek. If Kami's ship made either of these distances in 57 seconds, then the speed range is: Note: It's actually not as simple as the diagram above because both orbits are elliptical, not circular, but it works for demonstration purposes At it's farthest, the Sun would be in between the two planets, so its unlikely Jupiter would have been in this location relative to the Earth. At it's farthest, Jupiter is 968 million km away from Earth. At it's closest, Jupiter is 588 million km away from Earth. Jupiter is the 5th planet away from the Sun in our Solar System. In the anime, it takes Kami's ship 57 seconds to take Bulma and Mr Popo to Jupiter. Because Namek has liquid water, we know it exists in the "habitable zone" of its stars. Bulma has no problem walking around the planet, therefore we know it has something close to Earths gravity.ģ. According to Dragonball Z Episode 53 and Manga Chapter 264, the Planet Namek has 3 Suns:Ģ. Now, while I don't normally like to use the anime for a time-frame because it slows down and speeds up the flow of time for the benefit of the viewer, I'm going to use it on this occasion as if each second of the show is a second in real time because Bulma is in this scene and she's constantly doing things in it. In both They use the word "Piccolo" to open and close the door and Mr Popo translates Bulma's command to fly to Jupiter. In Dragonball Z Episode 37 and Manga Chapter 244 Mr Popo shows Bulma the space ship that Kami/Piccolo arrived on Earth in.
