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.


How long to get to the nearest star other than the sun at 100 mph?

The nearest star apart from the sun is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years (24.7 trillion miles) away. Traveling at 100 mph it would take 28 million years to travel such a distance.


How long would it take a conventional rocket traveling at 50000 miles an hour to reach the nearest star?

The nearest star is our sun the equation to solve this is (1 Astro Unit /50000 mi-h)AU=92.956x10692.956x106 mi divided by 50000-mi/hr = The answer to your questions is: 1859.12 hourswhich is about 77 and ahalf days


How long would it take to travel to the nearest star at 20000 miles per hour?

Incredible as it might sound, even traveling at 20,000 miles per hour the trip to Proxima Centauri (V645 Centauri) would take 142,241 years!


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 you to reach the nearest star from Earth?

How long will depend on the velocity. The closest star would be 4.24 light years away


How long would it take to travel the solar system at the speed of light to the nearest star?

About 4.2 years.


How long does it take the light from the nearest star?

If you mean our nearest star the Sun - 8 minutes. If you mean Alpha Centuarus System - 4.2 years.


Why does the sun appear the be the brightest star in the sky to us on earth?

because it is the nearest star by a long way


What would happen if you traveled to the next nearest star?

If you were at or near the next nearest star, it would take about four years for any known signal or light to get to you from this solar system.


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.


Why can you not touch the nearest star?

Because you will burn your fingers. And besides that it's long, long way away.
