To find an Earth-like planet around another star, scientists search for planets that orbit in the "habitable zone" where conditions are just right for liquid water to exist on the surface. They use telescopes to detect the planet's size, orbit, and composition, looking for similarities to Earth such as a rocky surface and the presence of water. Host stars are also studied to determine if they are similar to our Sun in age, size, and composition.
The star that Earth orbits is the only star that we call the sun. That said, if you lived on a planet orbiting another star, you would probably call that star the sun.
Oh my goodness - another internet hype about 2012. When will they just give up. There will be no star next to the Earth in 2012. The nearest star in 2012 will be our Sun at it's normal distance of about 93,000,000 miles.
Not a star: Planets such as Earth don't emit significant amounts of radiation. They don't generate energy through nuclear fusion, as the stars do.Not a satellite: Earth doesn't orbit another planet.
No, there is no dwarf star heading for Earth. The closest star to Earth is the Sun, which is a main-sequence star. Dwarf stars are common in the universe and many are much farther away from Earth.
Uranus is a planet. It does not have any stars. Like Earth, it orbits around the Sun, which is a star. The Sun does not belong to any planet.
No. There is no such thing as an "earth-like star" as Earth is a planet, not a star. Sirius A is a star that is larger and brighter than the sun.
a) Earth is not a star, but a planet. b) Earth is not part of "another galaxy", but of our own galaxy.
Earth does not glow.

Sol, commonly called the Sun, is the closest star to Earth.
It is possible for Earth and a star to collide with one another. However, the possibility is extremely remote.
It would be impossible to predict such an event.
The star might be closer to the Earth, or it is just brighter than the others. :D
Between two points - like a star and Earth - you would have a line, not an angle. Angles may be indicated between two stars - that is, the angle would be star 1 - Earth - star 2.
The earth is a planet, not a star. An example of a star would be the sun.
Like Earth, it's main star is Sol, a.k.a. the sun.
The closest star to Earth is the Sun, located approximately 93 million miles away. The closest star to Mars is also the Sun, as Mars orbits around it just like Earth does.
