Best Answer

The Sun. Sometimes, it's phrased as a trick question, but our Sun is a star just like all the others, entirely average in size. Other than the Sun, the next-closest star is Proxima Centauri, which is a red dwarf 4.2 light years away from Earth. Even though it is closest, it's too dim to see without a good telescope.
