Not for the stars you can see without a telescope. All of the stars you see at night are within a few hundred light years of Earth, so it does not take the light more than a few hundred years to reach us. There are stars in other galaxies that are millions or even billions of light years away. That light does take millions to billions of years to reach us, though the stars are too far away for us to thee them individually.

That's how long it took the light from earth to reach what ever other planet.


A million years from now will starlight be the same?

probably not. starlight takes more than a million years sometimes to reach us, and considering the amazing speed of light that means that those stars are extremely far away. Many stars will die off and many new ones will be born. Also the constellations appear different if pictures of them are compared every hundred or so years. Hope i helped.

How long does it take stars light to get to us?

In our Solar System, we see light from our sun reflected off the planets. In more distant galaxies, light from many millions of stars takes a long time to reach the Earth. It takes light 4 years to reach the Earth from Sirius, a near neighbouring star. Using the Hubble telescope, we can see the light from the Eagle Nebula, which takes 7,000 years to reach the Earth.
