1 The nearest star is some 4.2 light years away, and that distance was known to within an accuracy of better than 0.1 light year. 2  For a star measured as 20 light years away, the distance estimate is accurate to within a light year or so.  For stars 50 light years away, the margin of error is perhaps 5 to 10 light years.
This is a diagram that zooms out from the Earth's orbit to the nearest star system. It tries to show just how large the distance to the nearest star really is. Here is a map of all the known stars that lie within 20 light years plotted using the data provided below. Data and Catalogs. There are over 100 stars within 20 light years. This is a list of the known stars that lie within this distance.
