Best Answer

Star shapes vary greatly. It's probably best to divide the shape into triangles (or other figures you can find the area of) and deal with those. For symmetric five-pointed stars, the area of a star can be approximated within .024% by taking the distance between two consecutive points, squaring it, and multiplying it by the fraction 13/16.

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 is a star not a star shape?

The correct term for a "star shape" would be a pentagram, for 5 pointed ones, hexagram for 6, and etc etc. I suppose it was nicknamed the "star" because of its points that streak out similar to a star.
