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.
What is the distance from earth before you start falling When an orbit is no longer an orbit?
There is none. Let's say you and the earth were the only 2 objects in our Universe. The two of you would immediately start falling toward EACH OTHER. Of course, with earth being a gigantatillion times bigger than you, all you would notice (if you had delicate instruments to measure your movement) is you falling toward earth. So there is no definite distance from earth before you start falling toward it. In reality, there are trillions of stars and gazillions of tons of space dust - you would fall toward them instead of toward earth, but there would STILL be a tiny tiny amount of falling toward earth.

the stars "move" because of the way earth spins so then the constellations and stars look like they're moving but it realy is the earth that moves. In other ways the stars stay ware they are while the earth is spinning
