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.
Is the shadow of the moon always long enough to reach the Earth?
No, the shadow of the moon is not always long enough to reach the Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon's shadow on Earth is limited to a specific region where the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows for the shadow to be cast on the Earth's surface.
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 will it take for the earth to reach halfway to sun in its orbit?
It would take the Earth around 93 million miles to reach halfway to the Sun in its orbit. Earth's average distance from the Sun is about 93 million miles, so halfway would be approximately half of that distance.
Traveling at 13 kilometers per second how long to reach earth from Pluto Traveling 23 kilometers per second how long to reach earth from Pluto?
At 13 km/s, it would take approximately 32 years to travel from Pluto to Earth. At 23 km/s, it would take approximately 18 years to make the same journey.
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

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 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 would it take light from the sun to reach planet earth?
approximately 8.33seconds
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 does it take to reach Jupiter?
Earth is 588 million kilometers away from Jupiter. On a space shuttle, it would take about 2 years to reach Jupiter from Earth.
How long does it take for energy released by sun to reach earth?
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.
If you traveled at the speed of light how long would it take you to reach earth's nearest star?
Actually, the closest star to Earth is Sun which would be reached in a little more than 8 minutes.As for other stars, closest one is Proxima Centauri. You'd need to travel for 4 years and 2 months to reach it at the speed of light. You may or may not know that you have asked a delightful trick question. If I were traveling at the speed of light [impossible, of course] how long would it take me to get to earth's nearest star? From my point of view, the trip would be instantaneous. It would also be an instantaneous trip if I traveled to a destination 100 million light years away. Time completely stops at light speed. Observers on earth would conclude that the trip took me 8 minutes. We would all be right, within the scope of our individual frames of reference.
How long would a sudden light burst from the galaxy center take to reach earth?
25,000 years.
Is the shadow of the moon always long enough to reach the Earth?
No, the shadow of the moon is not always long enough to reach the Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon's shadow on Earth is limited to a specific region where the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows for the shadow to be cast on the Earth's surface.
