There is only one, the Sun. But the nearest star to earth other than the sun is Proxima Centauri.
_______________________
About 30 years ago, there was a theory that there was a second star, an invisibly-dim brown dwarf, in a highly-elliptical several-million-year orbit around the Sun. This mini-star was named "Nemesis", and the theory was that as Nemesis passed through the Oort Cloud, its gravity would disrupt many of the proto-cometary bodies that we believe may be out there. This would, among other things, explain the periodicity of the mass extinction events that happen every 30 million years or so. Hence, the name "Nemesis".
But the Hubble Space Telescope would have been able to detect it, and the math didn't work out for the periodic extinctions, so most astronomers accept that there is only one star in our solar system; our Sun.

is about 278,000 times farther away.

There is exactly one (1) star in our solar system.
It's the one we call "The Sun".

Are stars part of your solar system?
There is one star in our solar system: the sun.
Average distance between stars in the solar system?
There is only one star in our solar system, and that is our sun.
True or false there are more than a billion stars in your solar system?
well, there is only one star in OUR solar system, we call it the sun; but there are about 100 BILLION stars in the milky way galaxy, of which our solar system is a part of
What is the role of galaxies stars and planets in your solar system?
In *my* solar system, galaxies play no role, as my solar system is just one of many solar systems that make up our galaxy. A single star, which we call the Sun, is the most massive object in our solar system and, to a pretty good approximation, all of the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun. What are the roles of the galaxies, stars, and planets in *your* solar system?
What is the number of stars in a solar system?
Most solar systems have one star, like ours does. Some have two stars, known as a binary system.
Are there any stars ahead of your solar system?
Yes. There are no stars in the Solar System besides the Sun but there are over billions of stars out of our Solar System.
What is the total number of stars in the Solar System?
Theres only one - our sun.
What are stars in the solar system like?
there is only 1 star in our solar system, which is our sun. the stars that we can see at night are outside of our solar system
Are there lots of stars in the solar system?
There is only one star in our solar system, which is the sun. None of the other stars you see are in our solar system.
Are stars far away or close to the solar system?
stars are pretty far away from the solar system
Does the asteroid belt have more stars than the solar system?
The asteroid belt has no stars, the solar system one.
Are the stars you see at night in your solar system?
No. All the stars at night that are actually stars are well beyond the solar system. Five "stars" that you sometimes see are actually planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The only actual star in our solar system is the sun.
What are the stars in solar system?
Rigel, Betelgeuse. Comment: They are two of my favourite stars, but they aren't in the Solar System. There's only the Sun that's a star in our Solar System.
Can a telescope see all the stars in your solar system?
Yes. In fact your eyes can see all the stars in our Solar System. The only star in our solar system is the Sun.
How is Sirius the same as other objects in the solar system?
Sirius and the sun share a number of superficial characteristics, since they are both stars. But Sirius is not in the solar system.
Are there stars between the moon and your solar system?
No. The moon is in the solar system. The only star in the solar system is the sun. All other stars are much farther away than any object in the solar system.
