No one knows for sure, but one possible candidate is the Alpha Centauri system, where Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B orbit each other at a distance of only 11.2 Au which is the equivalence of our Sun to Saturn.

∙ 14y agoThe closest star is the sun. It's 93,000,000 miles from earth, or about 8.3 light-minutes.
The next closest is a set of 3 stars gravitationally bound and orbiting each other, which we call "Alpha Centauri".
That group is about 25,866,280,000,000 miles from earth, or about 4.4 light-years.

Two stars of the same spectral class must have the same what?
temperature
Are all stars the same temperature?
no
If stars are the same color are they the same temperature?
Yes, they have roughly the same surface temperature. Internal temperatures may be very different depending on the respective stages of stellar evolution the stars are in.
What is a red gigant?
One of two groups of stars on the Hertzsprung -Russell diagram that have a different set of properties than the main sequence stars; bright, low-temperature giant stars that are enormously bright for their temperature.
Is it true that two stars that have the same brightness are the same distance from earth?
false
Two stars of the same spectral class must have the same what?
temperature
Are all stars the same temperature?
no
Are all bright stars the same temperature?
no, stars temperature are diffrent according to their color. for instance, blue white stars are hotter than red stars
Are all-stars the same color and temperature?
no they are not
Are stars all the same color?
NO. Stars have difference colors depending on their temperature. The hottest stars are blue and cold stars are red.
If stars are the same color are they the same temperature?
Yes, they have roughly the same surface temperature. Internal temperatures may be very different depending on the respective stages of stellar evolution the stars are in.
What are the two ways stars are classified?
Two ways are by temperature and brightness
What are the ways stars are classified?
Two ways are by temperature and brightness
Why are some stars brighter than others?
not all stars are the same temperature and the temperature matters, it also effects how bright a star is. (i am not 100% sure about this answer but that is all i know)
What are the two ways stars are classified according to this chart?
spectrum and temperature
What is a gigantism?
One of two groups of stars on the Hertzsprung -Russell diagram that have a different set of properties than the main sequence stars; bright, low-temperature giant stars that are enormously bright for their temperature.
What is the temperature of Capella?
Capella is in fact a binary star. The two stars are both G type stars and thus will have a temperature range of between 5,200 and 6,000 oK
