Surprising isn't it?
According to SIMBAD, ~970. But there's a lot of stars within 50 light years whose distances aren't known. There's quite a few stars within 50 light years. To get a good estimate, we should consider how many stars within 20 light years, and go from there. The nearest 25 light years are really well catalogued, and the current census is 200 stars. Now, through knowledge of Geometry, one can say that if you multiply the radius of a 3D shape by a number, x, the volume will increase by the x^3. Why 3? because it's a 3D shape. So we double our sphere from 25 to 50 light years. So thus the volume increases by 2^3 = 8 times! So there are 8 times as many stars within 50 light years as there are within 25 light years. 200 * 8 = 1,600 stars (estimate).
8.6 light years
It varies widely, the closest star other than the sun is just over 4 light years away, but most of the stars we see are a few dozen to a few hundred light years away.
You can check the Wikipedia article "List of nearest stars". Note that it is quite possible that not all stars up to that distance have been discovered, since red dwarves and brown dwarves are quite difficult to detect.
i cant say because the little dipper is made op of many differt stars and alls 7 stars r different light years away. 4 example, the star kochab is 126 light years away and the star pherkad is 480 light years away.

I assume that you meant to ask "How many stars are 1 light year from the earth?"The answer is none.The closest star to us is Alpha Centauri which is 4 light years away.Unless you count our own sun which is 8 light minutes from the earth.If you meant to ask "How many stars are 1 light year from any other stars?"Then the answer is very many.There are many places within our Milky Way galaxy where stars are close together, especially near the center of the galaxy.

It depends on the distance of the star to Earth. The distance to the star in light years is the number of years the light took to get here. Most of the stars we see at night are within a few hundred light years of Earth. The closest star other than the sun is about 4.2 light years away.
1.5 billion stars per 1000 light years.
That depends on what you call "near".Within ten million miles . . . no starsWithin 100 million miles . . . one starWithin 26,450,000,000,000 miles (4.5 light years) . . . two starsWithin 100,000 light years . . . between 200 and 400 billion stars
They are about 25.6 light years apart in the earths sky.
