In the near future the Sun will start to grow and Earth will start to die. As the Sun grows the habitable zone will move further outwards. Mars's polar ice caps will start to melt and cover the planet with liquid water as Earth's water evaporates.

If we have the technology when this happens we will be able to travel to Mars and live there until the habitable zone leaves Mars. After that happens we will have to live on asteroids and other moons. Almost all the inner planets will incinerate then the Sun will shrink and grow and shrink again until the Sun's core collapses and explodes.

So the closest habitable planet will be Mars which is 50 million miles away.

What is the nearest habitable planet to earth?

If you mean, which planet could we just open the doors, plant a few vegetables and get on with life, then none - so far. Mars could be habituated but not without problems.

How far from a star is the habitable zone?

It cannot, a star can only have one or no habitable zone. Actually, many stars in the universe have none (or very, very inferior ones.) There are various reasons; one of them being that most stars exist in groups of two or more, making it difficult for a planet to have a stable orbit with just the right amount of constant starlight to be habitable.
