As usual, that would depend on the speed... Take the radius, and multiply it by 2 x pi to get the circumference. Or, if you have the diameter, multiply that by pi to get the circumference. Then divide that by the desired speed. If the speed is in kilometers / hours, the result of the division will be the time, in hours.

How far away is vy canis majoris?
VY Canis Majoris is about 4,900 light years from earth.
Has anyone tryed to go close to VY Canis Majoris?
Not anyone from this planet. VY Canis Majoris is too far away. Assuming we could build a ship that would travel at the speed of light, it would still take us 5000 years to get there.
How long is a day on VY Canis Majoris?
A day on VY Canis Majoris is estimated to be around 1.5 Earth years due to its slow rotation.
How big will the hypernova be when vy canis majoris explodes?
A couple of light-years.
When will canis majoris go supernova?
It is difficult to predict exactly when Canis Majoris, or Betelgeuse, will go supernova. It is expected to happen within the next 100,000 years, but could occur sooner or later. When it does happen, it is likely to be a spectacular event visible from Earth.
What is the biggest star VY canis majoris or NML cygni?
Neither of them! The VY Canis Majoris is indeed bigger, but it isn't the biggest star in the Universe. The XZ Majoris Ceiphei is almost as big as the smallest Nebula, and it would take 10,000 years to orbit it in a passenger airplane. It is the biggest star in the Universe. So indeed the XZ Majoris Ceiphei is bigger than either the VY Canis Majoris or the NML Cygni. Comments: Estimating the sizes of these big stars is not easy and there are different answers in different places. For example, Wikipedia now gives NML Cygni as bigger than VY Canis Majoris. Also, I must admit I've never heard of "XZ Majoris Ceiphei". I know of the binary star XZ Cephei, but that's not the biggest star.
When VY canis Majoris explodes will it reach us?
It's light will reach us - eventually, but any "destructive" gamma rays will not. VY Canis Majoris is about 4,900 light years from us. Too far away to cause us any concern.
Would Earth be affected when VY Canis Majoris explodes as a supernova?
Given the fact we are 5000 light years away from VY Canis Majoris, I doubt it would do much damage to Earth. However, Earth could be hit by a large gamma ray burst, but that is unlikely. Also, when the star does explode we will be able to see it from Earth, and it will outshine the galaxy for weeks and months.
How far is Adara?
Epsilon Canis Majoris (Adara), is the second brightest star in the constellation Canis Major.It is located about 420 light years from us.See related link for more information
Is the north star bigger than the canis majoris?
NO, VY Canis Majoris is the biggest star known to man . This star is also one of the most luminous star ever found . It is red hyper giant in the constellation Canis major . This star is 1800-2100 solar radii in radius and about 4900 light years away from the earth .
How close can people get to VY Canis Majoris?
It's much too far away. One of earths space shuttles would take many millions of years to reach it. If we could reach light speed, it would still take 5000 years. If you mean how close before we would fry, that's a difficult one. Bearing in mind that our own sun can burn us from 93 million miles, and V Y Canis Majoris is 7 billion times the size of our own sun, it would be massive distance but I can't give you a figure.
Can the VY Canis Majoris be seen from earth by the naked eye?
VY Canis Majoris cannot be seen from Earth with the naked eye. It is a red supergiant star located about 3,900 light-years away in the constellation Canis Major, and its apparent magnitude is around 8.9, which is too dim for unaided vision. Only through telescopes can it be observed, typically as a faint point of light.
