The nearest star to the Sun is currently Proxima Centauri. It is a distance of about 4.22 light years from the Sun.
It is very likely that Proxima Centauri is gravitationally associated with the two stars of Alpha Centauri system since the separation is only 0.21 ly about 15,000 AU but no evidence of an elliptical orbit associated with a binary star has not been found. If this is correct then eventually Alpha Centauri A & B will become the nearest stars to Earth at a distance of 4.36 ly.
The Moon. After that, it could be Venus or Mars, depending on their orbits. The distance between the Earth and Mars/ Venus changes.
Scaling down the distance between planets is not feasible. The distances between planets in our solar system are vast, and scaling them down would require compressing the entire solar system. Additionally, altering the distances between planets would disrupt the delicate gravitational balance and have catastrophic consequences for the solar system as a whole.
Distances within the solar system are expressed in terms of the distance between the Earth ans the Sun. This distance is called an astronomical unit (abbreviated as au), a unit of length now defined as exactly 149,597,870,700 meters or 92,955,807.3 miles).
It is not any distance from it. Our solar system is in the Milky Way.
Earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system.

A "distance" must be specified between two objects. There is no "distance of the Solar System" by itself.

The average distance between stars in the solar system is about 9.5 light-years. This distance can vary greatly depending on the specific stars being considered, as some stars may be closer or farther away.
The distance between our solar system and Aldeberan is listed as 65.1 light-years.

That would be Earth's Moon, 'Luna'.
