Proxima Centauri is a little more than 4.2 light years away, which works out to about 25 trillion miles. It would take 625 million hours to cross this distance. In other words a little more than 71,000 years.
Product miles are the number of miles a product needs to travel to reach its retail destination.
they would reach 1024830 miles because the distance around the earths equator is about 24,830 miles. 1000000+24830=1024830
Time = Distance/Speed = 250 miles/50 miles per hour = 5 hours
At a distance of 238,900 miles from Earth, it would take you about 4.7 months to reach the moon at 70 miles per hour.
Your friend will have to wait one hour: Covering 200 miles at 50 miles/hour requires 4 hours, while covering the same distance at 40 miles/hour requires 5 hours.
About 4.2 years.
Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away, so it would take 4.2 years for light from that star to reach us.
4.37 years. the star is Alpha Centauri ---- That's wrong. The closest star is the sun and it takes 8.3 minutes for light to reach us. when phrased nearest star it can be a trick question.. Alpha Centauri is the nearest star besides the Sun.
The distance from the Sun to Proxima Centauri is about 4.24 light-years or roughly 40 trillion kilometers. At a speed of 17.3 km/s, the spacecraft would take around 7,865 years to travel from the Sun to Proxima Centauri.
Proxima Centauri is about 4.2 light years from Earth.About 4 x 1013 kilometers (40,000,000,000,000)About 2.5 x 1013 miles (25,000,000,000,000)About 265,606 AUAbout 1.3008808 ParsecsIf the Earth was only an inch from the Sun, at the same scale, Proxima Centauri would be 4.2 miles away.It is the closest star to us, after the Sun.
12.5 light years away :) 73487500000000 miles 118259130907260 kilometers that is the nearest galaxy but the nearest sun is Alpha centauri; it is 44000 Billion km away from earth
The moon is the closest object in space to Earth. It is 384,399 km, or 238,854 miles away, approximately .78 of a light second. The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri (V645 CEN) at 4.2 light years. There have been several successful trips to and from the Moon. There have been no trips to Proxima Centauri or any other extra solar body by anyone from Earth.
If light leaves Proxima Centauri in 2020, it will take 4.3 years to reach Earth. Therefore, the light will arrive on Earth in the year 2024.
Ask James Kirk - faster than light is science fantasy.
The nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is approximately 4.24 light-years away. Traveling at 100 miles per hour, it would take about 81,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri, as light takes about 4.24 years to cover that distance. Given the vast distances in space, even traveling at high speeds by earthly standards is still vastly insufficient for interstellar travel.
It would take light approximately 4.3 years to travel from the Sun to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri. This distance is about 4.24 light-years away, making it the closest known star to our solar system.
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.
