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.
Alpha centauri is not part of the solar system.
Our closest Solar System is Alpha Centauri System.
The closest one is the sun ... it's right in the center of the solar system.The next nearest is one of the components of the multiple system called Alpha Centauri,at the minuscule distance of only 4.2 light years from the solar system.
The star most similar to the Sun is Alpha Centauri A, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system. Like the Sun, Alpha Centauri A is a G-type main-sequence star, sharing similar temperature, luminosity, and size characteristics. It is located about 4.37 light-years away from Earth and is one of the closest stars to our solar system. Its similarities make it a candidate for studies related to solar and stellar evolution.
Alpha Centauri
Proxima Centauri, roughly 4.243 light years from our Solar System. Its a Red dwarf and is part of Alpha Centauri system which includes 3 stars. Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B are about 4.37 light years away. and the planet Eris is red it is about 3 billion miles away from the Sun and it is 1 billion miles away from our Earth.Proxima Centauri4.2421 light years away
Polaris (the North star - Alpha Ursae Minoris) is a triple star system, but appears to us as a single star. Alpha Centauri is also another triple star system. And there are many more.
The closest star (aside from the Sun) to Earth is Alpha Centauri. It is about 4.22 light years away from earth. Though we call our star "the sun" its actual name is Sol which is used for the phrase "Solar System". All others are just systems and aren't in any way "solar".
The nearest to mine is Alpha Centauri.
Alpha Centauri has a mass of 1.1 solar masses.
There are eight planets in the solar system, but the planet closest to the sun is Mercury.
Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to Earth, is approximately 4.37 light-years away. This distance translates to about 25.6 trillion miles (41.1 trillion kilometers). The system consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri, with Proxima being the closest to our solar system.
