How do you figure out how many sec min hrs it takes for a radio wave to reach a star that is 5 light years away?
The answer is right there in the words of the question. Radio and light are the same physical phenomenon, and they travel at the same speed. The star is 5 light years away. That means the distance that light ... and radio ... travel in five years. It takes light from the star 5 years to reach us, and it takes radio from us 5 years to reach the star.
How far away is lighting when it strikes?
Not far enough if you get hit

Why does thunder happen ten seconds after lighting strikes?
It doesn't always. Thunder is the noise made by the lightning... it is a sonic shock wave which produces the noise we hear as thunder. The time taken for the light to reach us and the time taken for the sound to reach us differ because of the differing speeds of light and sound. As the speed of sound is so much slower than that of light we see a flash almost as soon as it happens, but we only hear the sound a lot later.... the lightning is approximately one kilometre distant for every 2.9 seconds which elapse between seeing the flash and hearing the crack. If there is a ten second delay then the lightning strike is a little under 3.5 kilometres away.
