How long does it take light to travel from Alpha Centaury the nearests star to your sun to your solar system?

Answer 1

4.3 light years

===========================

Sorry. "Light year" is an answer to "how far", not "how long".

Alpha Centauri is about 4.4 light years away from our solar system and everything in it,

which means that it takes AC's light about 4.3 years to get here.

Answer 2

Light from Alpha Centauri takes about 4.3 years to reach the Sun in our solar system. This distance is approximately 25 trillion miles (4.3 light-years) away, making Alpha Centauri the closest star system to Earth.

Answer 3

After the sun, the star closest to Earth is Alpha Centauri.This star is 4.3 light years away.

Answer 4

The distance from our sun to Alpha Centauri is about 25.8 trillion (25,800,000,000,000) miles, which translates to approximately 4.37 light years. This means, it would take 4.37 years for light to travel from the sun to Alpha Centauri.

Answer 5

Alpha Centauri is the closest star to our solar system and is about 4.2 light years away, light years is what light travels at which is 186,000 miles per second which is the speed of light, so it takes 4.2 years for Alpha Centauria's light to reach our solar system.

Answer 6

No, light from the sun and from Alpha Centauri travels at the same speed.

The difference is that Alpha Centauri is millions of times further away from us

than the sun is.

(Well, actually only 278 thousand times as far.)

Answer 7

It takes 4.37 light years for Alpha Centauri A and B (it is a dual star system) to reach our sun.

Answer 8

Alpha Centauri is about four and a half light years away, hence, it takes light about four and a half years to travel from Alpha Centauri to the solar system.

Answer 9

Light requires 4.1 years to travel from Alpha Centauri to the Earth.

Answer 10

About 4.3 years.
