    What is the nearest star to the Earth besides the Sun?

    Question #60287. Asked by stina_girl1. (Oct 31 05 12:42 PM)

    		The closest star to the sun, and thereby the earth, is Proxima Centauri, but its brighter neighbor Alpha Centauri, a double star, is so nearly the same distance that data about it are usually given. It is about 4 light years distance, or about 3.8x1016 m.

    Welcome to my quiz about Danielle Steel's novel "Star". It is my favorite novel by her. It's actually been a while since I've read the book myself so my questions aren't too detailed or difficult. Enjoy!
