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.
The closest star to us aside from the sun is Proxima, a small star that is part of the Alpha Centauri star system. On average, Proxima is 4.22 light years away while the star system as a whole is 4.27 light years away. The Sun is technically the closest star to the Earth.Besides that though, the star Alpha Centauri is closest. It is approximately 4.37 light years away The star closest to earth is the sun, averaging 93 million miles over the course of one full year.After the sun, the next nearest star is Proxima Centauri, roughly 270 thousand times farther from us than the sun is.trictly speaking, the CLOSEST star to the Earth is our own Sun. The next closest after that is Proxima Centauri, a tiny red dwarf 4.2 light years away. Even though it is the â¦ closest star to the Sun, it cannot be seen by the naked eye, because it is too dim!   The sun.
