The Nearest star after our Sun is Alpha-Centuri. It is at a distance of 4 light years.
That is it takes light four years to reach the Earth. In term of miles it is ~ 3.6 x 10^(50) miles. or in numbers:
360.000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.0 miles.
The star Mintaka is approximately 916 light years away from Earth.
The star 61 Cygni B is estimated to have a main sequence lifetime of approximately 10 billion years.
The Peacock star, also known as HD 101065, is approximately 115 light years away from Earth.
The Alpha Centauri star system is the nearest to the earth, and it actually consists of 3 stars locked together in a gravitational arrangement. They are about 4.3 light years from the earth.
Barnard's star is about 6 light years away from the sun.
Because the sun is a star every 100 years a sun explodes when a star explodes it dies out eventually many many years from now the sun will explode causing earth to go bye bye
infinite years
Vega will be the north star in about 12,000 years time.
Well its a 2 fold answer really. Firstly the gases that form a star take millions if not billions of years to come together. However when a Protostar is formed, this is not a true star as it produces heat via friction not fusion; once this starts to occur it only take about 100,000 years to go from Protostar to Star.
no but it will be in many years
