That depends on how fast your spaceship can travel, and what kind of a route you follow.

Spacecraft never travel in straight lines. But if you could do that, and if you kicked it up to,

let's say, a million miles an hour, then you'd pass the moon in 14 minutes (it took the Apollo

missions 3 days), and you'd be at Vega in only 16,970 years !

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 gamma rays from an exploding star to reach earth?

Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they travel at the speed of light. If a star is one light year away, it will reach Earth in one year.


Where is the spaceship on furdiburb lite?

use the free postion from the owl, put it in empty hand at the star sis fountion jump on the pool of water and star surf and collect credits till u reach past all the planets and u get one spaceship dnt worry it chrashes or collect 98 squrills got back to owl and got the postion for another spaceship idk tht mite chrash too n need to wait for update or collect squrial first mabey, oh and if u have a 1000 credits get the position form the owl to reach the last planet u fell from. hope this helps x


How long would it take to reach the largest star in your Solar System?

The largest star in our Solar System is the Sun. Since the Sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth and the speed of light is about 186,282 miles per second, it would take about 8 minutes for light (or any object traveling at the speed of light) to reach the Sun from Earth.


Will an astronaut be left behind when he steps out of his spaceship?

No. The reason why is, the astronaut and the spaceship are traveling at the same speed. The astronaut would have to careful though! Because, if the astronaut pushed away slightly from the spaceship as the astronaut stepped out, the astronaut would drift away from the spaceship and would continue to drift across space forever, provided the astronaut didn't bump into anything out there or get sucked in by the gravity field of a planet or a star. That's why when they do an EAV (Extravehicular Activity) they have to either be tethered to the spacecraft or have a MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit). The MMU is kinda like a jet pack of sorts, it lets the astronaut fly around the spaceship with compressed jets of air.

How long would it take to reach the star Vega if a spaceship could travel at one-tenth the speed of light?

Vega is relatively close at 25 light years. At one tenth of the speed of light, it would still take 250 years to reach it from our solar system.

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.


What could help a spaceship get to the nearest star?

In order to get anywhere close to a star you would need some kind of protection from the extreme temperatures whether it be in the form of shields, a new coat of protection around the spaceship (so it wouldn't melt), etc. You would also need protection from the ultraviolet light waves. Also, in terms of fuel, you would either need a lot more or you would need a more efficient fuel to get you there sooner. Either way, it would take many many light-years to reach any star beyond our solar system.


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 would it take the light from a star 72 light year away from earth to reach the earth?

Easy answer: it would take 72 years.


How long would it take for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth in Earth years?

It would take 100 Earth years for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth.


How long would it take to go from sun to the farthest planet in the fastest spaceship?

We don't know where the farthest planet is. But if we assume it's at the edge of the observable universe, then it depends on how fast we go:A spaceship travelling as fast as we can go in 2017 would take 838 trillion years.A spaceship travelling at the speed of light (which is virtually impossible) would take 45 billion years.A star trek Starship travelling at variable warp speeds would take about 45 million years


How long would it take gamma rays from an exploding star to reach earth?

Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they travel at the speed of light. If a star is one light year away, it will reach Earth in one year.


How long would it take 13000000 light years from a star to reach earth?

Light from a star 13,000,000 light-years away takes 13,000,000 years to reach Earth. Since light travels at a constant speed, this distance means we see the star as it was 13 million years ago. Therefore, if an event occurred at that star, we would only know about it after that lengthy time span.


How long would it take for a spacecraft to travel to a star located 40 lightyears away from Earth?

Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft 40 years to reach a star located 40 lightyears away from Earth.
