The "alpha" is a star's nomenclature means it's (usually) the brightest star in its constellation. Even if the constellations are apparently close, the stars could be any distance, since the constellation is only the two-dimensional "window" and doesn't tell us anything about the depth of the starfield.
However, Alpha Sagittarii is about 180 light years from Earth. Since this is much further away than Alpha Centauri, we can more or less ignore the 4 light year distance between Earth and Alpha Centauri and say that Alpha Sagittarii is also about 180 light years from Alpha Centauri as well.
Alpha Sagittarii (Alrami or Rukbat) is a star in the constellation of Sagittarius.It is about 170 light years from us.
As far as I am aware, it is still there.
The distance to Alpha Centauri is about 4.3 light-years.
That would be "Alpha Centauri". The distance is about 4.4 light-years.
About 4.4 light years.
Proxima Centauri Alpha Centauri A Alpha Centauri B
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.
Alpha Centauri A has an apparent magnitude of -0.01
Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to Earth, located about 4.37 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest known star to the Sun.
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.
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.
Alpha Centauri does not orbit the sun.
