It is about 150 million kilometers.Energy from the sun heats the earth's surface. The earth would be too cold for life without our star's heat energy. Other stars are too far away to give the earth enough heat energy for life. Scientists wonder if there is life near other stars.Our sun is an average size star. It appears like the largest one, because it is the closest star. Some stars are smaller than our sun. Very small stars are called dwarf stars. Some of them are no larger than our small planets. Some stars are much larger than our sun. The largest stars are called giant stars.Not all stars are the same distance from the earth. The different distances make some giant stars appear very small.

It is over 4 light-year away from earth. It takes light from this star over four years to reach the earth.
