It's about 11.5 light years away. That means it's one of the closest stars to Earth.
JK- It is actually according to the Planetary Bodies Association, Procyon, the 6th brightest star is, according to my and the PBA calculations, Procyon is exactly 11.4789765 light years/LY away
Procyon is in the constellation Canis Minor, which means "lesser dog" in Latin. It is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and is located relatively close to Earth, approximately 11.4 light-years away.
Procyon B is smaller in size compared to Procyon, as Procyon is a main sequence star (type F5IV-V) while Procyon B is a white dwarf companion star.
From Earth, the brightest star in the night sky is Sirius, located in the constellation Canis Major. However, among the stars listed, Procyon is also quite bright and is part of the constellation Canis Minor. Epsilon Eridani and Proxima Centauri are less bright than both Sirius and Procyon when viewed from Earth. Thus, Procyon would most likely appear brightest among the options given.
It is 362,570 km (0.0024 AU) away from the Earth
3400000 million lights years away
11.41 lightyears from the Sun.

Procyon is a binary star system, consisting of a main sequence star (Procyon A) and a white dwarf (Procyon B). Procyon A is slightly larger and more massive than the Sun, with a radius about 1.5 times that of the Sun. Procyon B is much smaller, with a radius about the same size as Earth.
Procyon is a binary star system consisting of two stars, Procyon A and Procyon B. Procyon A is a main sequence star with a diameter about twice that of our Sun, while Procyon B is a white dwarf about 1.5 times the diameter of Earth.
About 25 million miles away from earth.
very far
Mecury is 36 million Kilometers away from the Earth !!!
No, Earth is not far away from itself. Earth is the planet we live on, so it is always present beneath our feet.
about 70 years away
