Solution

The correct option is B False
Our Sun is the nearest star to the Earth. After the Sun, the next nearest star is 4.3 light years away. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. One light year is 10 trillion kilometers. Hence, all the stars are not the same distance from our Earth. They are at different distances. Hence, given statement is false.
