The nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.24 light-years away. A Boeing 747 typically flies at a cruising speed of around 570 miles per hour. If we calculate the time it would take to reach Proxima Centauri at that speed, it would take approximately 6,700 years, assuming continuous flight without any stops. This highlights the vast distances between stars in our galaxy.
What else can I help you with?
How long would it take you to reach the nearest star from Earth?
How long will depend on the velocity. The closest star would be 4.24 light years away
How long would it take to get to the nearest star in a space shuttle?
The Space shuttle cannot go beyond low earth orbit, but assuming you were traveling at the shuttle's orbital speed of 17,600 mph it would take approximately 7 months to reach the sun (the nearest star to earth), and approximately 160,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun.
How long to get to the nearest star other than the sun at 100 mph?
It would take over 114,000 years to reach the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) traveling at 100 mph. This distance is approximately 4.24 light years away, meaning it would take light over four years to travel them.
How long would it take light to travel from the nearest star to us?
The nearest star to Earth is regarded as the Sun. The light from the Sun takes 8.3 minutes approximately, after calculating the distance of the Sun from Earth and the speed of light. It can be calculated by the formula: Time = Distance / Speed. If you mean the nearest star apart from the Sun, that is "Proxima Centauri". That light from that star takes about 4.22 years to reach us.
What is the name of the nearest star to Earth?
The Sun is nearest star to Earth. Its light takes about 8 min. 20.33 sec. to reach to Earth. Its mine the distance of the Sun is near about 150 million km.
How long would it take to reach that star if you could travel at 25000 mph?
Not sure about "that" star, but it would take about 3700 hours (0.42 years) to reach the sun, our nearest star. The journey to next nearest, Proxima Centauri, would take around 114000 years.

How long does light take to reach the nearest star proxima centaury?
About 4.2 years.
How long does it take light from our nearest star to reach us?
Several thousand years.
How long would it take to get to the nearest star in a space shuttle?
The Space shuttle cannot go beyond low earth orbit, but assuming you were traveling at the shuttle's orbital speed of 17,600 mph it would take approximately 7 months to reach the sun (the nearest star to earth), and approximately 160,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun.
If you shout is anybody out there how long will it take to reach the nearest star?
That won't work. Sound won't travel through empty space.
How long does it take a beam of light to reach planet earth from your nearest star?
It takes approx. 8 and half minutes to reach earth
What is nearest star to your sun?
Alpha cetauri is the nearest star from the sun.It is 4.22 light years away. it means that light from the star takes 4.22 years to reach us.
The nearest star beyond the sun is Alpha Centauri which is 4.21016 meters away If you were to receive a radio message from this star today how long ago would it have been seen?
Actually the nearest star (except for the sun) is Proxima Centauri is next at 4.3 light-years from the Earth. It would take 3.4 years at one light-year/year for radio waves to reach Earth from there. This is because the radio waves are travelling in a vacuum and all electromagnetic wave in a vacuum travel at "C" AKA the speed of light.
How long would it take a conventional rocket traveling at 50000 miles an hour to reach the nearest star?
The nearest star is our sun the equation to solve this is (1 Astro Unit /50000 mi-h)AU=92.956x10692.956x106 mi divided by 50000-mi/hr = The answer to your questions is: 1859.12 hourswhich is about 77 and ahalf days
