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.
The nearest star to Earth (other than the Sun) is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.24 light-years away. Traveling at the speed of light (which is impossible for current technology), it would take 4.24 years to reach it.
Normally 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 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.
