The light from Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the constellation Orion, takes approximately 642.5 years to reach Earth. This distance means that when we observe Betelgeuse today, we are actually seeing it as it was over six centuries ago. The exact distance can vary slightly due to the star's position and motion, but 642 light-years is the commonly accepted estimate.
