The nearest star neighbors to the Earth are three stars that make up a multiple system. To the naked eye the system appears as a single bright star, Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri is a double star -- two stars revolving about each other that are too close to be seen as separate by the naked eye. Near them is the third member of the system, a faint star known as Proxima Centauri, our sun's closest neighbor.
Proxima Centauri is 4.3 light-years from the Sun (and Earth). It lies at a distance of over 24,000,000,000,000 miles, about 270,000 times farther than the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

The stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own but unimaginably far away. The remains of dead stars are composed of extremely dense forms of matter not found on Earth. The "falling stars" are not actually stars; they are meteors, small pieces of rock and metal that burn up as they travel through Earth's upper atmosphere at extreme speeds.
