The distance between planet Earth and the Sun is 149,597,892 kilometers
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meter per second
149,597,892,000 m / 299,792,458 m/s = 499,00
It would take 499 seconds = 4 minutes and 19 seconds
You would have to be travelling faster than the speed of light in order to do this. And, theoretically speaking, this would be impossible to do.However, if you were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, you would need to be travelling 1.25x the speed of light (which is about 3.75 x 108 m/s2).
None. At the speed of light, time stops completely. It is impossible for anything with an invariant mass to move at the speed of light; only particles with no "rest mass" (such as photons) can do so.
at the speed of light, a little over 8 minuets.
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.
The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s. Therefore, 80 percent of the speed of light is 0.8 x 3 x 10^8 = 2.4 x 10^8 m/s. This would be the speed of the electron traveling at 80 percent the speed of light.

To an outside observer a person traveling at the speed of light would be frozen in time. To the person traveling at the speed of light, things would seem normal.
The mass of a body increases as its speed increases. A body that has any masswhen it's not traveling at the speed of light would have infinite mass when it istraveling at that speed. So its kinetic energy would be infinite, and anything it hit ...whether a bird, a plane, the Earth, or a star ... would be totally blasted to smithereensthat were too small to detect.Fortunately, a body that has any mass when it's not traveling at the speed oflight can never travel at that speed.

Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft 40 years to reach a star located 40 light-years away from Earth.
Traveling on a beam of light is not possible for objects with mass, as light moves at the fastest speed in the universe and cannot be caught up to. Traveling at the speed of light would also cause time dilation effects, where time would appear to stand still for the traveler.
It really depends on your speed. If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take 600 years. 600 light years equals 3,527,175,223,910,165 miles. So divide that by the speed you would be traveling to get the length of time it would take you.

Well traveling at the speed of light would take 4 minutes, so if you want to convert that to years...have fun :)

No such thing would happen. Matter cannot reach the speed of light, only massless things can (and they cannot travel at any other speed than the speed of light).
