Rigel by far.
What do Polaris and Procyon have in common?
Polaris is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa minor and Procyon is the brightest star in the constellation canis minor but the brightness of Procyon is not due to it's intense luminosity but it's closeness to the sun, at a distance of 11.46 light years, but both stars are bright
What is it like on Procyon?
Procyon or Alpha Canis Minor is a not a single star but a binary system. The primary star Procyon A is a white main sequence star approximately 1.5 solar masses and a diameter of 2 solar diameters. It luminosity is about 7 times that of the sun and surface temperature is about 6,700 Kelvin. The secondary star Procyon B is a dim white dwarf star with the mass of about 0.6 solar masses and a diameter of 0.01 that of the sun. It's luminosity is 0.00055 that of the sun and surface temperate of about 7,700 Kelvin. Current theories of Procyon A suggest that it is too bright to be an ordinary main sequence star. It may well be a subgiant star having fused all the hydrogen in it's core to helium. The fusion moves out in a shell around the core causing the star to expand until it is about 80 - 100 times its current size.
