along long long long time
If you mean light from the Sun, then it takes eight minutes for the light to reach the Earth.
4.37 years. the star is Alpha Centauri ---- That's wrong. The closest star is the sun and it takes 8.3 minutes for light to reach us. when phrased nearest star it can be a trick question.. Alpha Centauri is the nearest star besides the Sun.
it does reach the earth in light energy.
the light speed are very fast so light easily reach on earth
4.3 light years===========================Sorry. "Light year" is an answer to "how far", not "how long".Alpha Centauri is about 4.4 light years away from our solar system and everything in it,which means that it takes AC's light about 4.3 years to get here.
It takes approximately 8 minutes for the Sun's light to reach Earth.
It takes light approximately 4.3 years to reach our solar system from Alpha Centauri.
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
The star closest to earth is the sun, at a distance of roughly 93 million miles.Light from the sun reaches us in a little over 8 minutes.The next closest star is Alpha Centauri, about 278,000 times farther away thanthe sun is. Light from Alpha Centauri travels for about 4.4 years to reach us.
The moon does not emit light, rather it reflects it. The light from the sun shines on the moon, and it is reflected to earth.
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
