The nearest star to the Sun is currently Proxima Centauri. It is a distance of about 4.22 light years from the Sun.
It is very likely that Proxima Centauri is gravitationally associated with the two stars of Alpha Centauri system since the separation is only 0.21 ly about 15,000 AU but no evidence of an elliptical orbit associated with a binary star has not been found. If this is correct then eventually Alpha Centauri A & B will become the nearest stars to Earth at a distance of 4.36 ly.

∙ 14y agoThe next solar system is Alpha Centauri (or Proxima Centauri, actually part of Alpha Centauri, which is a multiple star). The distance is about 4.3 light years. This means that light takes 4.3 years to travel from there to here, or from here to there. Each light-year is almost 10 trillion km.

After that - Proxima Centauri at about 4.2 light years.

What is our closet nieghbor in our solar system?
The Moon. After that, it could be Venus or Mars, depending on their orbits. The distance between the Earth and Mars/ Venus changes.
What distance is the solar system distance from Earth?
Earth is part of our solar system.
How do you scale down the distance between planets?
Scaling down the distance between planets is not feasible. The distances between planets in our solar system are vast, and scaling them down would require compressing the entire solar system. Additionally, altering the distances between planets would disrupt the delicate gravitational balance and have catastrophic consequences for the solar system as a whole.
How is solar system distance expressed?
Distances within the solar system are expressed in terms of the distance between the Earth ans the Sun. This distance is called an astronomical unit (abbreviated as au), a unit of length now defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters or 92,955,807.3 miles).
How far is our solar system from the Milky Way?
It is not any distance from it. Our solar system is in the Milky Way.
What is our closet nieghbor in our solar system?
The Moon. After that, it could be Venus or Mars, depending on their orbits. The distance between the Earth and Mars/ Venus changes.
What will be the distance in international system of solar system?
A "distance" must be specified between two objects. There is no "distance of the Solar System" by itself.
Average distance between stars in the solar system?
There is only one star in our solar system, and that is our sun.
What is the distance between the solar system and your home galaxy?

What is the closet planet in the Solar System to the Sun?
Mercury
What distance is the solar system distance from Earth?
Earth is part of our solar system.
What is the distance between earth and the star aldebaron?
The distance between our solar system and Aldeberan is listed as 65.1 light-years.
Compare the distance between two stars and the distance between two planets?
The distance between stars are much greater than distances between objects in our solar system
How do you scale down the distance between planets?
Scaling down the distance between planets is not feasible. The distances between planets in our solar system are vast, and scaling them down would require compressing the entire solar system. Additionally, altering the distances between planets would disrupt the delicate gravitational balance and have catastrophic consequences for the solar system as a whole.
What object in solar system is closet to earth?
That would be Earth's Moon, 'Luna'.
What is the measurement term used from the earth to the sun?
Astronomical Unit- The distance between objects in the solar system!
