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.
How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?
It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.
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 to get to the nearest star other than the sun at 100 mph?
The nearest star apart from the sun is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years (24.7 trillion miles) away. Traveling at 100 mph it would take 28 million years to travel such a distance.
