Depends witch star it comes from. The closest stars light will only take 7 years but most of the stars (that are relatively closeby compared to the light of other galaxies) will take 200 or more.

How can large ocean waves made by a hurricane wear away a beach more than 500 miles away from the storm?
Waves can travel across the ocean just like ripples across a pond and as long as they do not encounter adverse conditions they do not lose much energy.
How long does it take for a microwave radar signal to travel from Earth to the Moon and back?
Approximately 2.5 secs. A 'microwave' is an electro-magnetic radiation, in the same manner as light, and uv. radiation. Being an electro-magnetic radiation it will travel at the speed of light, which is 'c' = 3.8 x 10^8 m/s
How long does it take the earth to travel once around the world?
Well the earth cannot travel around the world being as they are the same thing. However, if you meant how long does it take the earth to travel around the sun then the answer would be about 365.25 days.

How long does it take the Milky Way to rotate?
A disk has multiple speeds - at it's perfect center it's standing still (as you approach the center the speed gets smaller and smaller as you approach 0) At the outer rim (where our star Sol and it's attending planets) are rotating around the galaxy center at about 500,000 mph, ~0.0007% of the speed of light.
