The Sun is a as a G2V type star, a yellow dwarf and a main sequence star.
Stars similar to our Sun have a stellar class of G2V - Alpha Centauri A has the same class as our Sun
They are main sequence yellow stars.
Stars that are most like the sun are called G-type main sequence stars. Examples of such stars include Alpha Centauri A and Tau Ceti. These stars have similar temperature, luminosity, and spectral characteristics to our sun.
Our sun is an average star.
The sun is similar to other stars because it is a star itself. All stars are made of the same types of materials, hydrogen and helium. In addition to the same make up, all stars also have a life cycle.

White dwarf stars.
That's called a binary star. Since the mass of the two stars is fairly similar (not nearly as much mass difference as between the Sun and Earth, for example), both are in orbit; it is more accurate to say that both stars move around the common center of mass.That's called a binary star.

Sun is a type of star specifically called a G-type main-sequence star. Both the Sun and other stars are massive, luminous spheres of plasma that produce energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. While the Sun is the closest star to Earth, all stars in the universe follow similar physical principles.
Alpha Centauri and the sun
Very small. Only about 7.6% of all visible stars.
