The nearest stars to the Earth are three stars that lie about 4.37 light-years away in the Alpha Centauri triple-star system. The closest of these stars, Proxima Centauri, is just about 4.24 light-years away.

Therefore, we can say the second nearest star to the earth after the sun is Proxima Centauri.
