Which is the closest star to earth not counting the sun?
The closest star to earth is the sun. The next closest is a red dwarf star called Proxima Centauri, much further away. The sun is around 8 minutes away at the speed of light, while Proxima Centauri is around 4.2 years away at the speed of light (light years).
Why are Light Years used to measure distance of stars from the Earth?
Because no other unit of distance is large enough. The closest star system to us is 4.2 light years away, which is about 25,000,000,000,000 miles.
What is the venus' nearest star?

What is the Nearest star to the moon in may?
This is the same as asking "what is the nearest star to Earth [or to the Solar System] in any season". The distance from Moon to Earth is insignificant; the distances to other stars don't change significantly from one season to the next. The closest star from Earth is our Sun - distance 150 million km, or a little over 8 light-minutes. The next-closest star is Proxima Centauri, distance about 4.2 light-years.
How long doessecon closest star take for light from tat star to reach us to earth?
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.
Light year distance to the stars?
The closest star is the Sun - about 8 light-minutes away. The closest star after that is at a distance of 4.3 light-years; the farthest observable galaxies (galaxies are made up of stars) are at a distance of over 40 billion light-years.The closest star is the Sun - about 8 light-minutes away.

What stars are closest to us?
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.
How far is the closest star from us?
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.
How many years does starlight travel?
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.
What is the nearset star to the sun?
Proxima Centauri is a very dim red dwarf star, but it is the closest star to our own sun, at a distance of 4.2 light years.

What is 2.7 light years away from the sun?
The closest star is at a distance of about 4.24 light-years; as far as I know, there is nothing special at a distance of 2.7 light-years. Well, it might be the approximate distance where the gravity of other stars starts to dominate over the gravity of our Sun.
How far is our closest star?
The nearest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri - is about five light years away.
