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.
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.
