Question

what is the nearest star​

Answer 1

Answer:

Proxima Centauri is a small, low-mass star located 4.2465 light-years away from the Sun in the southern constellation of Centaurus. Its Latin name means the "nearest [star] of Centaurus".

This object was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes and is the nearest-known star to the Sun.

Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores.

Aside from our sun, the dots of light we see in the sky are all light-years from Earth.
