The Attribute Proximity node.
For each point in the input geometry, this node finds the closest location on the target.
Both the distances to and the coordinates of these locations can be stored in attributes.

Maybe worth mentioning the type of the attribute created is float.

A new attribute with that name is added if it does not exist yet.

If it does exist, the values of the existing attribute are overridden.
Location
The name of the attribute where the computed location it stored.
A new attribute with that name is added if it does not exist yet.

You can add some more detail here:

Target Geometry
   Points
      Calculate the closest point or vertex on the target geometry.
   Edges 
      Calculate the closest point anywhere on the edges of the target geometry's mesh.

etc. Something like that at least.
