Our neighborhood solar systems
 
  If we were to look at a cross section of our position within a radius of 100 parsecs from the Sun, there are about 100 Stars above and below.  
  Of the closest fifteen to twenty stellar systems (solar) systems to our solar system, only around 7 to 8 are within a distance of 10 light years or less. From a distance of 11 light years and on, the number of distant neighborhood solar systems increases significantly.
