It would be Earth is closer to the sun than to the star. Because a light year is the light travels in one Julian year which is 365 days which is 9.5 trillion kilometers and 4.4 light years is a lot beyond than 149 million kilometers of the Earth to Sun distance that even one light year is more than that.
