The current north star, known as Polaris, has a distance estimated at 325-425 light-years. From Wikipedia: "Many recent papers calculate the distance to Polaris at about 434 light-years ... Some suggest it may be 30% closer ..."
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is about 434 light years, or about 4.1 quadrillion kilometers, from earth.
Pretty much the same distance it is from us: about 2.5 million light years. The north star is about 434 light years from Earth, thousands of times closer.
I don't think there is such a star. If you mean the ecliptic, that's not a star - it is the plane of Earth's orbit.
Not quite. The North Star, Polaris, is about six-tenths of a degree away from being directly above the North Pole. Considering that this happened completely by chance, the coincidence is very handy.
Eridanus is a constellation - not a single star

The north star
It is 196 light years far from the earth. In fact Adhil(Arabic name) is a binary star in the Andromeda constellation.
102 light years from earth
The North Star sits at a point in the sky near where the northern axis of the earth sits. This means that the North star's relative position in the sky does not change. In fact, in a 24 hour Earth cycle, the north star only moves in a small circle.
Almost opposite. The North Star is very close to the sky's north pole. Centaurus is far to the south.
the north star. it takes 8 minutes for light to get from the sun to the earth. it takes half a billion years for light to get to us from the north star...i think. but i know that the sun is definetly closer.
