Stars are everywhere in our Universe.
The closest is our Sun at about 8.3 light minutes away.
The next closest, is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years.
The furthest star in our Galaxy is about 75,000 light years away.
The furthest galaxy so far found is IOK-1 at 12.9 billion light years.
The stars aren't any set distance from the Sun. They are all different distances and brightnesses, a star may appear to be small and dim, next to a large bright star, but the stellar luminosity can be much greater than the close star meaning that it is actually brighter even though it doesn't appear that way. This is called apparent brightness vs. the absolute brightness. They are constantly moving so they have no set distance. Hubble's law explains how an object that is farther away must e moving faster. You can determine this by measuring parallax, or parsecs, which also determines the stellar luminosity. So take that into mind and I hope it helps!
The stars light is very bright. The light is so bright that we can see them in the night's sky. they our shine everything else.
The light travels from the star in straight lines. The telescopes in space pick up the light from the different stars to show a picture. However this is a picture of the past as the light has taken a long time to travel to the telescope.
Most stars are in other galaxies than ours (the Milky Way) and are billions of light-years away. The sun is the closest star, 93 million miles from Earth, and the next closest is Proxima Centauri which is four and a half light-years away. A light year is about seven trillion miles. Stars are extremely far away.
The stars you see with the unaided eye are relatively close neighbours in our galaxy. The nearest is about 4 light years away (compare the sun, about 8 light minutes away).
After the sun, the next closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.243 light years, or just under 25 trillion miles away. Other stars are even farther away.
If it's not too cloudy, you should.
Billions, if not trillions of miles.
No. While the sun is larger than the average star it is nothing extraordinary. Many stars are far larger than the sun.
If all stars had the same absolute magnitude as our Sun, we wouldn't see many bright stars. Many of the stars that seem brightest to use are far, far away, but thousands of times brighter than our Sun. Those are relatively short-lived stars, many of them will live only a few million years. (Yes, this is short for a star; many stars, like our Sun, have life spans of billions of years.)
There are billions of blue stars, each a different distance from the sun. Please ask about a specific star by name.
Stars do not orbit the sun.
All stars are sun or sun is the star both are same.
The stars are upwards of 4.2 light-years from the Sun.
How far is the earth to the sun?
No. While the sun is larger than the average star it is nothing extraordinary. Many stars are far larger than the sun.
Actually, Alpha Centauri is one of the brightest stars in the sky. In general, stars are much dimmer than our Sun, mainly because they are very far away.Actually, Alpha Centauri is one of the brightest stars in the sky.

Actually, the Sun is really small compared to most stars. The stars just look small because they're far away.
no, the sun is not the largest object because there are much larger stars and other suns that are far,far,far,far,far,far,far,far,far, faaaaaaaaaaaaaraway from us!!!!AMAZING!!!!!!
Because.. the light from the Sun is far too bright to allow stars to be seen.
No. The sun is not the biggest star in the our galaxy. Some stars that we see at night that are located far far away from other stars. One of the largest known stars, NML Cygni, is 1,650 times bigger than the sun (by radius). Our sun is tiny, compared to the bigger stars. the largest star is a billion times the sun, and by the way, nml cygni is not one of the largest known stars, it IS the largest known star
noone knows there are many large stars very far away we dont have the technoligy to go that far. Many of the bright stars we can see are larger than the Sun.
No, stars do not reflect the sun like the moon does. Stars are very similar to the sun and give off their own light. (They look small because they are far away, but they are actually very big).
Yes, but apart from the Sun, the stars are too far away for their heat to affect Earth.
Because the sun is far to bright in relation to the light from the stars.
