How far is the nearest habitable planet?
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.
Other then sun what other stars are near the earth?
Proxima Centauri Rigil Kentaurus Barnard's Star
What does a person need to see Proxima Centauri?
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf and the third star of the binary system of Alpha Centauri. You need to be 'below' -600 latitude and have have a telescope capapble of resolving a a star with an Absolute Magnitude of 15.5 or better. Which is a very powerful telescope for any but professional astronomers. It can only be seen from a very few places in the US, and then very poorly as it is too near to the horizon even at its highest.
If you could travel at the speed of light how long would it take to travel form our solar system to the nearest star?
The nearest star (besides our sun) is 4.24 light-years from earth. This means that light emitted for this star takes 4.24 years to reach earth. Some stars are over millions of light-years away. The closest star is the sun. Beyond that is Proxima Centauri, at 4.24 light-years away. Alpha Centauri is at 4.37 light-years, and beyond that is Barnard's star at 5.97 light-years away. 4.24 light-years = roughly 24,925,000,000,000 miles (rounded to the nearest billion miles) lol
What is the 2ND nearest planet near the sun?
Venus is the second planet out from the sun.
What is the closest star near to the sun?
Alpha-Centauri Distance from Sun/Earth of alphaa-Centauri from the Earth is now reckoned at 4.396 light-years or 4.159×1013 km.) It is the same stella type as our Sun.
What stars are near in the earth?
The Sun is the closest star. Next closest are the three stars of the Alpha Centauri system, of which the closest is Proxima Centauri.
How will alpha Centaurus's death affect us?
"Alpha Centauri" is actually THREE stars, not just one. Whenever one of those stars die, we'll probably hardly notice; this will happen in the distant future, and Alpha Centauri will then no longer be anywhere near our Solar System.
How many stars are near mars?
Our sun is the nearest star to Mars. Alpha Centauri is the next nearest at 4 light years.
How far is the nearest habitable planet?

How old is Alpha Centauri compared to the Sun?
Alpha Centuari is a star 4.4 light years away. Which is about 44 trillion km (44,000,000,000,000 km) or 44,000 Billion km. Its actually more like 42,479,700,000,000 km if you were exact.
Betelgeuse Alpha Centauri Polaris Antares Which of these stars are closest to the earth?
Every star is pretty huge, compared to anything in our life experience.In size.Betelgeuse: Red giant. Diameter 1,180 solar radii.Aldebaran: Orange giant: 45 solar radii.Alpha Centauri - Which one? A, B or C. For A, yellow dwarf: 1.22 solar radii.Polaris: Which one? A, Ab, B , C or D? For A, bright giant, 46 solar radii.So a simple question can be so difficult. All are giants except Alpha Centauri, however, as this is a homework question, the teacher is obviously looking for Betelgeuse.
How far is earth from the the stars?
The nearest star neighbors to the Earth are three stars that make up a multiple system. To the naked eye the system appears as a single bright star, Alpha Centauri. Alpha Centauri is a double star -- two stars revolving about each other that are too close to be seen as separate by the naked eye. Near them is the third member of the system, a faint star known as Proxima Centauri, our sun's closest neighbor. Proxima Centauri is 4.3 light-years from the Sun (and Earth). It lies at a distance of over 24,000,000,000,000 miles, about 270,000 times farther than the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
How near or far from the sun would make the planet uninhabitable?
The position the Earth is currently and for the past 4 billion years has been the only place this planet can be habitable. If we moved even a mile farther or closer to the sun, we would most likely freeze or burn to death.
If humans had no technology what would the most habitable place on Earth be?
Somewhere near the equator.
Other then sun what other stars are near the earth?

What is the only habitable area in Iceland?
Generally only the coastline is really habitable. There are some towns in southern Iceland that are more inland and a handfull otherwere but most towns or settlements are near the coastline or at it.
