We do not yet have the technology to reach other stars. The farthest from earth that any manmade object has gotten is the unmanned Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has taken 36½ years to travel 19 billion kilometers, which is about 1/50 of one light year. The nearest star is about 4 light years, so it would take more than 7,000 years at that speed.
Quite simply. It is the closest star to us.
The closest star to us is the sun.
The nearest star is the Sun; it takes light 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth from the Sun. The closest star outside our Sun is Proxima Centauri; it takes light 4.2 years to reach us. At speeds slower than the speed of light, it will obviously take longer.
The closest star is the Sun. The distance is a little over 8 light-minutes. That is, it takes light from the Sun that long to reach us.The next-closest star is Proxima Centauri. The distance is about 4.2 light-years.
the sun
4.37 years. the star is Alpha Centauri ---- That's wrong. The closest star is the sun and it takes 8.3 minutes for light to reach us. when phrased nearest star it can be a trick question.. Alpha Centauri is the nearest star besides the Sun.
the closest star to us after the sun is called Proxima Centauri.
The Sun where most of us are at.
The closest star is our Sun at approximately 93 million miles. The next star is alpha Centauri at about 4.3 light years.
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 to earth is the sun. After that the closes is Proxima Centauri.
The closest star is our Sun; the distance is 150 million kilometers. The closest star after that is about 4.3 light-years away. Each light-year is about 9.5 trillion (9.5 million million) kilometers.
