How long does it take stars light to get to us?
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.
How long does it take for light from big dipper stars to reach earth?
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.
Could stars be dead?
The stars we see are so far away, that their light can take hundreds or thousands of years to reach us. So long after the light we saw left the star, but before the light arrived here, the star may have blown up. We would not know for a long time after that. So many of the stars that we do see may be long dead.
How long does it take light to travel from the Sun to the Andromeda Galaxy?
The light from our Sun will take about 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy.
How long does it take in minutes to reach earth from the sun?
When traveling at the speed of light, about 8 minutes. When walking, alot longer.

How many meters per second would it take stars light to reach earth?
Light travels at about 300,000 metres per second. The time taken for that light to reach us would depend on the stars distance.
How long does it take for light from big dipper stars to reach earth?
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.
Does it sometimes take millions of years for starlight to reach earth?
Not for the stars you can see without a telescope. All of the stars you see at night are within a few hundred light years of Earth, so it does not take the light more than a few hundred years to reach us. There are stars in other galaxies that are millions or even billions of light years away. That light does take millions to billions of years to reach us, though the stars are too far away for us to thee them individually.
How long will the light from the sun take to reach Jupiter?
It will take no time at all
How long does it take for light from the sun to reach the Earth?
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light from the sun to reach the Earth.
How long does it take the moon's light to reach the earth?
0.28 Seconds
How long does it take for the sun light to reach us?
About 8 minutes
How long would it take for NASA to reach Pluto?
Light years.
How many years would it take for the Northern Star light to reach Earth?
Polaris (North Star) is about 433 light years from us, so that is how long light will take to reach us.
How long does it take to have sun light to reach the moon.?
2 million days
How long does light from the moon take to reach the earth?
approximately 3 seconds.
