I think that proxima centauri is approximately 4 light years away from the sun. One light year is equal to 5,865,696,000,000 miles.

So, 5,865,696,000,000x4 = 23,462,784,000,000

Proxima Centauri is approximately 23,462,748,000,000 miles away from the sun.

Why do all stars except our Sun appear only as tiny dots in the sky?

They are unimaginably far away. The sun is "only" about 93 million miles from Earth. The next nearest star, Proxima Centuari is about 265,000 times farther away than the sun is. To scale it down, if the sun were an inch from your face, Proxima Centauri would be more than 4 miles away. Many of the stars you see at night are dozens to hundreds of times farther away than Proxima Centauri.

What is the fourth nearest star to our solar system?

Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun, at 4.2 LY. Curiously, even though it is the closest, it is not visible to the naked eye! Proxima Centauri is a tiny red dwarf star, and requires a fair-sized telescope to see. For a long time, many people thought that the closest star was Alpha Centauri, which isn't entirely incorrect. The Alpha Centauri system is actually a double star with a very distant triple; Alpha Centauri A (also known as Rigel Kent) and Alpha Centauri B form a binary system, and Proxima, Alpha Centauri C, is very distantly linked at about 0.3 LY.
