the stars gamma wahoois and delta wahoois are identical in every way, except that gamma has an apparent magnitude of 5.7 and delta has an apparent magnitude of 8.2. which star is closer to earth?



Answer :

Proxima Centauri star is closer to earth.

How many stars are closer to Earth than the Sun?

The triple-star system of Alpha Centauri, located 4.37 light-years from Earth, contains the nearest stars. Proxima Centauri, one of these stars, is 4.24 light-years away and a little closer. Only two stars, Alpha Centauri A and Tau Ceti have spectral types G, which are identical to our sun, out of all the stars closer than 15 light-years. Red dwarf stars of the M-type make up the bulk.

How much time would it take to reach the closest star?

Proxima Centauri is the next nearest star. About 4.3 light-years, or 25,300,000,000,000 miles, separate it from us (about 39,900,000,000,000 kilometers). It would take more than 48 million years for a car moving at 60 mph to get to the nearest star.
