Just under 12 light years from our solar system.

It is a yellow orange star like are own sun.
Beta Ceti, also known as Deneb Kaitos, is an orange giant star with a surface temperature estimated to be around 4,550 Kelvin.
Stars that are most like the sun are called G-type main sequence stars. Examples of such stars include Alpha Centauri A and Tau Ceti. These stars have similar temperature, luminosity, and spectral characteristics to our sun.
The brightest star in the constellation Cetus is Menkar (Alpha Ceti). It is an orange giant star located approximately 220 light years away from Earth.

main sequence
The distance between Tau Ceti and Sirius is about 8.6 light-years. Since there are approximately 5.88 trillion miles in one light-year, this means the distance between Tau Ceti and Sirius is approximately 50.808 trillion miles (8.6 x 5.88 trillion).
Tau Ceti has an apparent magnitude of 3.50, making it visible to the naked eye in a dark sky. It is considered a relatively bright star compared to other stars in the night sky.
To the extent that "other solar systems" are referred to at all, they are referred to by the name of the central star. So if planets were discovered to be orbiting around the star Tau Ceti, it would be called the "Tau Ceti system".
