The Nearest star after our Sun is Alpha-Centuri. It is at a distance of 4 light years.
That is it takes light four years to reach the Earth. In term of miles it is ~ 3.6 x 10^(50) miles. or in numbers:
360.000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.0 miles.

∙ 13y agoNormally millions if not billions of years BUT there is a point in which a Proto-Star, which is a mass of condensing gases on it way to becoming a star, but only gives off heat through friction and not fusion, Becomes a Star. Once this process starts, it takes normally about 150,000 years from Proto to full blown Star.

How do you figure out how many sec min hrs it takes for a radio wave to reach a star that is 5 light years away?
The answer is right there in the words of the question. Radio and light are the same physical phenomenon, and they travel at the same speed. The star is 5 light years away. That means the distance that light ... and radio ... travel in five years. It takes light from the star 5 years to reach us, and it takes radio from us 5 years to reach the star.

How many years does it take to produce a star?
Well its a 2 fold answer really. Firstly the gases that form a star take millions if not billions of years to come together. However when a Protostar is formed, this is not a true star as it produces heat via friction not fusion; once this starts to occur it only take about 100,000 years to go from Protostar to Star.
