How far away is the closest star to our star?

What start is our closest neighbor to our star and how big is it compred to our star and does it have any planets and where is it in the night sky?How far away is the closest star to our star?I believe it would be Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.2 light years away. In size it is smaller than our sun, but has a greater density. Although it has been thought to possibly have a planet, there has been no observation of one, and currently astronomers think it is unlikely it has one. If it does have one, it is almost certainly uninhabitable by our standards.



How far is 4.2 light years in miles? I'm not going to calculate it, but light travels about 186,000 miles a second. All you have to do is figure out how many seconds there are in a year and multiply by 186,000 and you've got it, Pilgrim.



Happy landings!

How far away is the closest star to our star?It is the Proxima Centauri at 4.21 Light Years. Not Alpha

Centauri or Rigil Kentaurus Alpha, both are at 4.3 Light Years from Earth.



How far away is the closest star to our star?Proxima Centauri (Latin proximus, proxima, proximum: meaning 'next to' or 'nearest to') is a red dwarf star approximately 4.2 light-years distant in the constellation of Centaurus. It was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes, the Director of the Union Observatory in South Africa. The star may be part of the Alpha Centauri system, and it is the nearest star to the SunHow far away is the closest star to our star?
