-- The nearest one is about 93 million miles away. That's the one called the "Sun".
-- The next nearest one is in the constellation Centaurus. It's about 4.2 light years away.
That's about 24,691,000,000,000 miles.
-- The farthest ones that can be detected by today's best astronomical equipment
are about 14 billion light years away.
That would be around 82,302,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles.

To calculate how far away stars are from Earth.
Do stars very far away from earth influence earth's motion?
No, stars very far away from Earth do not have a significant influence on Earth's motion. The motion of Earth is primarily influenced by the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon. The gravitational effects of distant stars are negligible compared to these closer celestial bodies.
Why the stars look very small?

Do stars provide heat?
