As with all such problems, that depends greatly on the speed. Light can travel from our Solar System to Toliman in 4.3 years. With current technology, humans (or robots) can't get there in a reasonable amount of time. Pick a suitable speed, then divide the distance by that speed. For example, at the current speed of the Voyager 2 craft it would take approximately 80,000 years to get there. Build a spacecraft that can go 10 times as fast, and it will still take something like 8000 years.

How long to get to the nearest star other than the sun at 100 mph?
The nearest star apart from the sun is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years (24.7 trillion miles) away. Traveling at 100 mph it would take 28 million years to travel such a distance.
How long would it take light to travel from the nearest star to us?
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.
What is the diameter of a red giant star?
The star would take 1101 years to travel around.
How long would it take gamma rays from an exploding star to reach earth?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they travel at the speed of light. If a star is one light year away, it will reach Earth in one year.

About 4.2 years.
How long would it take to travel to the closest star using a space shuttle?
8.31 minutes @ the speed of light.
How long does it take light to travel to the nearest star to us?
The nearest star to us is the SUN. It takes light about 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to Eart. #The next nearest star is Alpha Centurii. Light takes about 4.5 years to travel from this star to Earth.
If you were moving at the speed of light how long would it take you to get to the closest star apart from the sun Alpha Centaur?
4.4 years from here
How long does it take light to travel from Alpha Centauri the nearest star to our sun to our solar system?
It takes 4.37 years.
How long does it take to travel from mercury to mars?
It would depend upon how fast you were going and how far apart the planets were at the time.It would depend upon how fast you go and how far apart they are at the time.

If you shout is anybody out there how long will it take to reach the nearest star?
That won't work. Sound won't travel through empty space.
How long would it take to reach that star if you could travel at 25000 mph?
Not sure about "that" star, but it would take about 3700 hours (0.42 years) to reach the sun, our nearest star. The journey to next nearest, Proxima Centauri, would take around 114000 years.
