Compare Alpha Centari to the sun?
Alpha Centari is the nearest star to the Solar System's Sun. Alpha Centari is thought to be in the order of at least 4 to 7 billion years old. The Sun's age is estimated to be at the low end 4.6, and thus likely to be much younger. Another difference is that Alpha Centari is really a binary star system, while the Sun is the only star in the Solar System.
What is the closet star from the sun?
Alpha Centari is the nearest star to Sol. It is about 4 light years or 24 trillion miles away.
How far is alpha centari b?
Alpha Centauri AB is a binary star system. It is 4.37 light years away from our Sun. Both Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B are in close orbit around each other, so the same distance is valid for both.
How many Satellites does Alpha Centauri have?
As of current knowledge, there are no known satellites orbiting Alpha Centauri, which is our closest neighboring star system. However, further exploration may potentially discover any satellites that might exist.

Nearest star after the sun?
Proxima Centauri, at about 4 light years, is the closest star after the Sun, followed immediately by the binary stars Alpha Centauri A and B. Proxima Centauri is thought to orbit the Alpha Centauri system in an extremely wide orbit. Theoretically there could be some as-yet-undiscovered small red dwarf or brown dwarf closer to the Sun than Proxima Centauri.
