How long would it take a human currently on Earth to reach Ceres? Currently, we have no capability to even go back to the Moon, let alone any farther. A reasonable estimate would be 25 years from the time somebody decides to go back into space beyond Low Earth Orbit. The trip itself would take about 2.5 years, depending on the type of propulsion and the urgency of the mission.
The NASA space probe Dawn was launched in 2007 to study both Ceres and Vesta. Using very low-powered ion engines, Dawn arrived near Vesta in 2011, spent nearly 2 years orbiting Vesta, and arrived in Ceres orbit in early 2015.

Ceres is, on average, approximately 413 million km from the sun (413,000,000,000m). The speed of light is 299,792,458m/s. If we calculate 413,000,000,000m*(1s/ 299,792,458m)=1378s or 22m 58s for light to travel from the sun to Ceres.
From earth approximately a week to get to the dwarf planet Ceres
The dwarf planet 1 Ceres orbits the Sun in 4.6 years.
It takes approximately 23 years to travel from Earth to Ceres.
NASA launched the Dawn Mission on 27th Sep 2007 to explore 4 Vesta before arriving at Ceres by 2015.
Ceres takes 4.6 years to orbit the sun. Did you know that Ceres doesn't have any moon? Ceres has a tenous atmosphere with water frost on the surface.
That depends on the speed. Just divide the distance by the assumed speed.
