Several thousand years.
Alpha cetauri is the nearest star from the sun.It is 4.22 light years away. it means that light from the star takes 4.22 years to reach us.
It takes approx. 8 and half minutes to reach 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.
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
If light leaves Proxima Centauri in 2020, it will take 4.3 years to reach Earth. Therefore, the light will arrive on Earth in the year 2024.
About 4.2 years.
How long will depend on the velocity. The closest star would be 4.24 light years away

The nearest star is the Sun; it takes light 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth from the Sun. The closest star outside our Sun is Proxima Centauri; it takes light 4.2 years to reach us. At speeds slower than the speed of light, it will obviously take longer.
The nearest star to Earth is regarded as the Sun. The light from the Sun takes 8.3 minutes approximately, after calculating the distance of the Sun from Earth and the speed of light. It can be calculated by the formula: Time = Distance / Speed. If you mean the nearest star apart from the Sun, that is "Proxima Centauri". That light from that star takes about 4.22 years to reach us.
That depends on the distance to the other star. The NEAREST star to our Sun is Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star that is not visible to the naked eye. It is 4.2 light years away, meaning that it takes light 4.2 years to reach our solar system.By comparison, our Sun is 8.3 light-MINUTES away from the Earth.
About four years.

The Sun is nearest star to Earth. Its light takes about 8 min. 20.33 sec. to reach to Earth. Its mine the distance of the Sun is near about 150 million km.
8 minutes 20 seconds for light from the sun. 4.4 years for light from the next nearest star.
The nearest star to Earth in the Scorpius constellation is Antares, which is about 550 light years away. This means that light from Antares takes approximately 550 years to reach Earth.
