The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. It's about 93 million miles away from us, or 8.31 Light Minutes. That means that the light you see from the Sun took 8.31 minutes to reach you. It's not quite a Light Year, because a Light Year is roughly 6 trillion miles. The second-closest star to the Earth is Proxima Centauri, and it is 4.2 Light Years away.
