The closest one is the sun ... it's right in the center of the solar system.
The next nearest is one of the components of the multiple system called Alpha Centauri,
at the minuscule distance of only 4.2 light years from the solar system.
My solar system contains only one star. We call it "the sun".
The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is located about 4.24 light-years away in the Alpha Centauri star system.
There is only one star in our solar system. It is called Sol.
There are eight planets in the solar system, but the planet closest to the sun is Mercury.
The sun in our solar system.
The Pole Star (Polaris) is not the closest star to our solar system. It is located about 434 light-years away. The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system and is located about 4.24 light-years away.
After our own Sun, the closest star is called Proxima Centauri.
Alpha Centauri
Apart from the sun the closest star to any planet in this solar system is Proxima Centauri.
The closest star (aside from the Sun) to Earth is Alpha Centauri. It is about 4.22 light years away from earth. Though we call our star "the sun" its actual name is Sol which is used for the phrase "Solar System". All others are just systems and aren't in any way "solar".
You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.
