Your question is very vague, but here are a few answers:

  • The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius.
  • The star closest to Earth is Proxima Centauri.
  • The star closest to the Earth and visible to the naked eye is Alpha Centauri.

Note: Even though Proxima Centauri is the closest star, it is too dim to be visible to the naked eye.

If any of the above answers are not what you were looking for, then please rephrase your question properly and ask again.
