The Alpha Centauri system is about 4.2 light years away. The closest star is actually Proxima Centauri.
No; in fact, the Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to Earth.The closest star to us is the Sun; the next-closest star is Proxima Centauri, part of the Alpha Centauri system.
The closest star is our Sun at approximately 93 million miles. The next star is alpha Centauri at about 4.3 light years.
The Sun, which is a fairly ordinary star, is the closest star to Earth. I presume that's not what you meant. The next closest is Proxima Centauri, a dwarf star 4.2 light years from our system, and its much brighter companion Alpha Centauri is next closest.
The Sun is the closest star. Next closest are the three stars of the Alpha Centauri system, of which the closest is Proxima Centauri.
Well, The sun is the closest. The next closest would be Alpha Centauri ... 4.3 light years away!
The closest star we know of other than the Sun is Proxima (Alpha Centauri C) at about 4.2 light years. The next closest star after that is a tie, since it's a binary pair: Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, both of which are about 4.4 light years away.
As Neptune is not a star the question is unnecessary - the Sun is the nearest star to the Earth. After that the next star is Alpha Proxima.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star at about 4.24 light years; the next closest star is Alpha Centauri-A which is about 4.37 light years away.
Barnards Star, approximately 6 light years distant.
4.4 years from here
The star closest to earth is the sun, at a distance of roughly 93 million miles.Light from the sun reaches us in a little over 8 minutes.The next closest star is Alpha Centauri, about 278,000 times farther away thanthe sun is. Light from Alpha Centauri travels for about 4.4 years to reach us.
A red dwarf, i.e. a faint start, believed to be part of the Alpha Centauri system. The closest known star, apart from the Sun.
