Detailed Solution

The Sun is the nearest star to the earth.
The sun is a star that is the closest to Earth. If we exclude the sun, then Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to the Earth. Stars are luminous objects; they emit light. They glow because they convert hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion, which produces a high amount of energy and heat that helps them glow.
