Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our sun at 4.24 light years away. It is a red dwarf about one-seventh the diameter of our sun.

From there, the Sun is a bright 0.4 magnitude star in the constellation Cassiopeia. However, the sun is not the closest star to Proxima Centauri. The closest stars from there are Alpha Centauri A and B.
