Best Answer

The closest star to the Earth, other than our own Sun, is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.22 light years away from us.

The second closest star to the Earth (apart from the Sun) is Barnard's Star, a red dwarf. It is about 5.96 light years (about 35.0 trillion miles or 56.3 trillion kilometers) away.

How many years does it take to reach the closest star by space ship?

Our suns light takes 8. some odd minutes to reach the earth and the is traveling at 299 792 458 m / s... and that is the closest star... other than that the other closest star is about 10 light years away... meaning it would take ten years traveling that fast to reach that star... so to the sun... i would say a few months, but to the closest star other than the sun... a few decades :/ so a long time ha
