That depends where you live. For example, if you live in Europe, the United States, or Asia, you will never be able to see Alpha Centauri, because it is too far south.

How many years pass before light from Alpha Centauri reaches earth?
Alpha Centauri is a triple star system. Alpha Centauri A, B & C or Proxima Centauri. Alpha Centauri A & B are 4.37 light years from the Earth whereas Alpha Centauri C is 4.243 light years.
Alpha centauri is how much larger than sun?
Alpha Centauri is a binary, possibly triple, star system See related link for a pictorial.
Can you see proxima centauri?
Not without a telescope. Proxima Centauri is a dim star.
Why can't we see proxima centauri at night?
Proxima Centauri is too dim to bee seen without a telescope.
What is the fourth nearest star to our solar system?
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun, at 4.2 LY. Curiously, even though it is the closest, it is not visible to the naked eye! Proxima Centauri is a tiny red dwarf star, and requires a fair-sized telescope to see. For a long time, many people thought that the closest star was Alpha Centauri, which isn't entirely incorrect. The Alpha Centauri system is actually a double star with a very distant triple; Alpha Centauri A (also known as Rigel Kent) and Alpha Centauri B form a binary system, and Proxima, Alpha Centauri C, is very distantly linked at about 0.3 LY.
What star is very similar to sun?
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star that we can see and it is almost the same size and age as the Sun.
What star that is very similar to sun?
Alpha Centauri is the nearest star that we can see and it is almost the same size and age as the Sun.
What is the second star?
ANSWER:With the Sun being the first, Proxima Centauri is the next closest at 4.22 light years away in the Alpha Centauri star system. See the related link for more information.
What is the name of the star nearest to earth?
The star nearest to the Earth is Sun, but except Sun, The closest star system that we know of is Alpha Centauri, located about 4.37 light years away (41.5 trillion km). The system easy to see with the unaided eye - if you live in the Southern hemisphere. In fact, Alpha Centauri is the 4th brightest star in the star in the sky. Alpha Centauri is actually made up of three stars orbiting one another. They're too bright to be seen as separate stars without a telescope. But with a telescope, it's possible to split the star into two. These are Alpha Centuari A and B. Neither of them is very closer to the Earth. The Alpha Centauri system has a third, much dimmer star called Proxima Centauri. While Alpha Centauri A and B are 4.37 light-years away, The red dwarf Proxima Centauri is located a mere 4.22 light-years away. Alpha Centauri orbit one another, getting as close as 11.2 astronomical units (the distance from the Sun to Saturn), while Proxima Centauri is about 13,000 astronomical units away. Most astronomers think that Proxima Centauri orbits the binary pair, but there are some who think it's just passing by, and not actually part of the system.
What is the 3rd closest star on earth?
ANSWER:With the Sun being the first, Proxima Centauri is the next closest at 4.22 light years away in the Alpha Centauri star system. See the related link for more information.
How are the Solar system and the Alpha Centauri system similar?
Everyone knows they live in the solar system. However life could be possible in the alpha centauri system. Scientists have provided five tests to determine if a star is capable of containing other planets with life. See link below with more information.
How far away is the next nearest star?
Technically speaking the closest star to Earth is the sun which is about 93 000 000 miles (150 million kilometers) away. After that the next nearest star is Alpha Centauri and it is 4.37 light years away from our sun.
