Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our Sun, is a small red dwarf star that - even though it is closest - is not visible in the sky without a telescope. It is 4.2 light years away.

How far in miles? Light travels 186,000 miles per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.24 days in a year. Multiply all those numbers together, and you'll have your answer.
