because they are so far away!!
Light from the sun because all light travels at the same speed, and the sun is the closest star to the earth, so therefore the light from the sun reaches the earth before light from other (further away) stars
In our Solar System, we see light from our sun reflected off the planets. In more distant galaxies, light from many millions of stars takes a long time to reach the Earth. It takes light 4 years to reach the Earth from Sirius, a near neighbouring star. Using the Hubble telescope, we can see the light from the Eagle Nebula, which takes 7,000 years to reach the Earth.
our sun is much closer to us than the stars. Light from the sun takes about eight minutes to reach Earth, but the light fromthe next nearest star takes a sevral years to reach us
It takes approximately 8 minutes for the Sun's light to reach Earth.
If you mean light from the Sun, then it takes eight minutes for the light to reach the Earth.
Stars don't travel to earth. But the light and other radiation that they emit spreads out in every direction from the star, and some of it eventually hits the earth. Starting out from the star, it takes the light 1 year to reach the earth for every 5,878,700,000,000 miles it has to cover to get here.
Well it depends on what you mean. The distance for how long it takes, or the time as in how long since Earth was made. Earth as you know has been here a long long time. Stars light has been shinning towards Earth eversince it was made. To see how long it takes for a stars light to reach Earth depends on how distant and huge the star is.
No, constellations are groups of stars that appear close together when viewed from Earth but are actually at different distances in space. They do not produce their own light but rather reflect the light from distant stars within the group.
It takes light around 8 minutes and 19 seconds to reach the earth from the sun.
The stars from the Big Dipper are approximately 80 light years away from Earth, meaning it takes 80 years for the light from those stars to reach us. This means that the light we see today from the Big Dipper actually left those stars 80 years ago.
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light from the sun to reach the Earth.
The sun is relativly close to the Earth compared to other stars. It takes light less than 9 minutes to get to us from the Sun, but it takes several years, to billions of years, for star light to reach Earth.
