Proxima Centauri, about 4.2 light years or 25 trillion miles. Alpha Centauri A and B, as well as Barnard's Star and Sirius. Hence its proximity is what makes Sirius so bright. Epsilon Eridani is 10 light years away...and 61 Cygni is 11....

What is the nearest star that is a G2V and a yellow dwarf and a main sequence star like our own?
A G2V star is a yellow dwarf and a main sequence star.The nearest and similar type to our own Sun is Alpha Centauri A at 4.3 light years.
What is important about Alpha Centauri?
It isn't, really. It is the nearest star that's similar to our own Sun. (The one star closer, Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf too small to be seen with the naked eye.) Other than that, there are probably a billion other stars in the Milky Way just like it.
What is a big hot ball of gas that gives off its own light?
A star. The nearest star to Earth is the SUN.
What galaxy is the benard's star?
I suppose you mean Barnard's star. That is one of the nearest stars to us, therefore, it is in our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
How does a star compare to a planet in temperature and size?
A shining star is much bigger than a planet. A star produces light and heat and other types of radiation of it's own. A planet does not.
Do the sun orbit a star named alpha centari?
No. The sun orbits the center of the galaxy, not any star. Alpha Centauri just happens to be the nearest star system to our own.
What are some names of earth stars?
well,Earth does not have its own star. sun is just the nearest star.earth has its own natural satellite -the moon
Do stars reflect light from the the sun?
no, the sun is a star and produces it's own light, just like other stars
How can a stars color provide information about its temperature?
welqwell a star is a luminous sphere of plasma held together by it own gravity .the nearest star to the earth is the sun...
What is the name of the constellation with the closest star to your galaxy?
All of the constellations that we can see are actually in our own galaxy, so we can't really answer your question as it was asked. The closet star to earth other than our own sun is the star Proxima Centauri, we can tell by the name that it is in the constellation Centaurus.
Why do you consider the sun as the brightest year?
The sun is not a year or any other length of time. It is a star. It is the brightest star to us as it is the star that all the planets in our solar system revolve around, therefore it is the closest to us and so it appears the brightest. There are many other stars far larger and brighter than our own but we are not close enough to them to receive their light more than our own sun.
Why do stars appear to be far away from us as they are not so far?
For a start, what do you mean with "they are not so far away"? The nearest star (after our own Sun) has a distance of more than 4 light-years - that's more than 40 million million kilometers.
