What is important about Alpha Centauri?
It isn't, really. It is the nearest star that's similar to our own Sun. (The one star closer, Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf too small to be seen with the naked eye.) Other than that, there are probably a billion other stars in the Milky Way just like it.
What is the closet star to earth?
Technically speaking, the sun is the closest star to Earth..The next closest known star to the Earth is Proxima Centauri, red dwarf starapproximately 4.2 light years from Earth ... only about 278,000 times as farfrom us as the Sun is. See the related link below for further information aboutProxima Centauri..The next two closest known stars comprise the binary star system called AlphaCentauri. Alpha Centauri is 4.4 light years from Earth..It is postulated that another star, a red or brown dwarf star, closer to the Earththan Proxima Centauri, orbits the sun in a highly elliptical orbit. This possiblestar is code named Nemesis. See the related link below for further informationabout a companion star.That would be the Sun, an average everyday star. The next closest star to earth is Alpha Centauri, which is only four light-years away.

How many years does it take to reach the closest star by space ship?
Our suns light takes 8. some odd minutes to reach the earth and the is traveling at 299 792 458 m / s... and that is the closest star... other than that the other closest star is about 10 light years away... meaning it would take ten years traveling that fast to reach that star... so to the sun... i would say a few months, but to the closest star other than the sun... a few decades :/ so a long time ha
