Alpha Centauri is the nearest star system. Its a binary star system of Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. If someone asks you what is the nearest star ? then the answer will be "proxima centauri" in my opinion. nearest star: proxima centauri nearest star system: Alpha centauri A and B. Some people believe that its a triple star system of Prixma, Alpha A and Alpha B. centauri.
At any given moment, it's one of the three stars making up the alpha Centauri system. The one that can get the closest is alpha Centauri C (aka Proxima), but depending on where it is in its orbit, it's possible for either alpha Centauri A or alpha Centauri B to be slightly closer than Proxima at a soecific point in time.
Alpha Centauri is the brightest star in the Centaurus constellation, the "Centaur".
