If a spacecraft travels at 17.3 km per second how long for craft to go from sun to Proxima Centauri?
At 17.3 kilometers per second the craft would require 73,128.5 years to reach Proxima Centauri; a distance of 4.22 light years.
How long would it take light to travel from the Sun to the nearest star?
approximately 4 years and 3 months (from proxima centauri)
How long would it take to travel to the nearest star at 20000 miles per hour?
Incredible as it might sound, even traveling at 20,000 miles per hour the trip to Proxima Centauri (V645 Centauri) would take 142,241 years!
How many miles away is proxima centauri from earth?
Proxima Centauri is about 4.2 light years from Earth.About 4 x 1013 kilometers (40,000,000,000,000)About 2.5 x 1013 miles (25,000,000,000,000)About 265,606 AUAbout 1.3008808 ParsecsIf the Earth was only an inch from the Sun, at the same scale, Proxima Centauri would be 4.2 miles away.It is the closest star to us, after the Sun.
What is the 3rd closest star on earth?
ANSWER:With the Sun being the first, Proxima Centauri is the next closest at 4.22 light years away in the Alpha Centauri star system. See the related link for more information.
How long would it take a ray of light to travel to Proxima Centauri from the Sun?
Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away, so it would take 4.2 years for light from that star to reach us.
How distant is the closest star from the Earth?
150 million kilometers. If you mean "other than the Sun", that would be Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.150 million kilometers. If you mean "other than the Sun", that would be Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.150 million kilometers. If you mean "other than the Sun", that would be Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.150 million kilometers. If you mean "other than the Sun", that would be Proxima Centauri, at a distance of about 4.2 light-years.
How old would you be after sending and receiving a message from Proxima Centauri?
It depends on how old you are to start. Since Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away, it would take 8.4 years to send a message an receive a reply.
Are Voyager 1 and 2 near Proxima Centauri?
No. The Voyager spacecraft are barely beyond Pluto's orbit. Neither of the Voyager probes are aimed in the direction of Proxima Centauri, and even if they were they would not arrive for about 175,000 years.
How do you solve astronomical unit of proxima star?
Since it is so close you would use stellar parallax to resolve the distance to proxima centauri.
How far away the nearest star is to the sun?
That would be Proxima Centauri. About 4.2 light-years.

What is the sun of all planets?
The planets in our Solar System all orbit the same Sun - usually just called "Sun". The sun of exoplanets is the respective star they orbit. For example, the sun of a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri would be Proxima Centauri.
How long would it take to reach our neighbouring star by space shuttle?
At a top speed of around 30,000 Km per hour, in theory it would take around 160,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri. In practice, the Space Shuttle is not able to break out of Earth orbit to start such a journey.
What would the parallax angle of Proxima Centauri be if measured from Mars?
When Mars is lined up along our line of sight toward Proxima Centauri, it's about 0.00018 percent closer to it than we are. And when it's on the other side of the sun, on the extended line of sight from Proxima Centauri through the Earth, it's about 0.00093 percent farther from it than we are. Any measurement of the position or motion of Proxima Centauri, or any other star outside the solar system, that's made from Mars, or any other solar system planet, is indistinguishable from the same measurement made from Earth. HOWEVER .... because Mars has a bigger "baseline" than the Earth (due to a wider orbit), the parallax angle would be correspondingly larger.
What star is the closest to us in the milky way?
The Sun is "really" the closest star at 150,000,000 km (93,000,000 miles)Proxima Centauri is the closest star to us, at a distance of approximately 4.2 light years.(Proxima is Latin for "next to" or "nearest to")Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to us at a distance of approximately 4.3 light yearsThe Centauri system is a triple star system Centauri A and B have a mean separation of 11 AU's and are similar in size and temp to the Sun.Centauri C is a red dwarf it can not be seen with the unaided eye and was not discovered until 1918See related link for more information.
