The farthest away body from the earth among the following is the closest star.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The star closest to earth is Proxima Centauri and the distance between Proxima Centauri and earth is 40 trillion km

The distance between earth and Uranus changes regularly, with 2.6 billion km being the closet and 3.2 billion km being the farthest distance between earth and Uranus.

Planets arranged in order according to the distance from sun are

Mercury, Venus, Earth,Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Hence there is no doubt the moons of Jupiter will be closer to the earth the planet Uranus is.

Asteroid belt is between the planets Mars and Jupiter. The largest asteroid in the asteroid belt will be closer to the earth than Uranus is. But the distance between earth and Proxima Centauri is greater than the distance between earth and Uranus.

Thus we can conclude that among all the given options, the closest star is the farthest from earth.
