That's a tricky question because the answer depends on which star we're talking about!

Here's why:

* The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.24 light-years away. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year, which is a *huge* distance – about 5.88 trillion miles!

* Our Sun is the closest star to Earth, but it's only 93 million miles away. That's a much shorter distance than the other stars.

* Other stars are much farther away. Some are hundreds, thousands, or even millions of light-years away.

So, the answer to your question depends on which star you're interested in. Do you have a specific star in mind? Let me know, and I can tell you how far away it is!
