Every star is a different distance. The distances are SO GREAT that we don't even measure them in miles - we measure them in light years, the distance light travels in a period of 365 days (almost six trillion miles)!! It's CRAZY !!

The nearest star that we know of other than the Sun is about 4 light-years away.

Some are farther away, some are nearer. A "constellation" is just a group of stars that happens to be in the same direction, and where human fantasy has formed into certain "pictures".

Thousands of light years away.

Billions of light-years. The nearest star is 16.308 light-years away. (One light year is equal to just under ten trillion kilometers.)
