It depends on the distance of the star to Earth. The distance to the star in light years is the number of years the light took to get here. Most of the stars we see at night are within a few hundred light years of Earth. The closest star other than the sun is about 4.2 light years away.

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 does the lack of an atmosphere in space affect the reflection of starlight?
