Longer than that. Besides our Sun, the nearest star in Proxima Centauri. It’s about 6 light years from Earth. A single light year, the distance light travels in a vacuum is about 9 trillion miles. So 6 time 9 trillion is 54 trillion miles. You might want to take along a few good books and some DVDs.

Think again - Sol, usually called the sun, is the “nearest star”.
