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.
Eridanus is a constellation - not a single star

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.
The north star
102 light years from earth
It is 196 light years far from the earth. In fact Adhil(Arabic name) is a binary star in the Andromeda constellation.
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.
