Our own Sun is the closest, of course.

Beyond that, the next closest star is the red dwarf Proxima Centauri, which is too dim to see with the naked eye, at 4.2 light years. Next closest are the two stars in the Alpha Centauri system, at 4.5 LY.

See the link below for the list of nearer stars.

The closest really bright star is Sirius A.

Do stars with the same color have the same size?

No, stars with the same color do not necessarily have the same size. Color in stars is primarily determined by their temperature, with hotter stars appearing blue and cooler stars appearing red. However, stars of the same temperature can vary significantly in size, as they may belong to different classes, such as dwarfs, giants, or supergiants. Thus, while color can indicate temperature, it does not provide a definitive measure of a star's size.


Are stars and Pluto the same size?

Are Stars and Pluto the same size? Answer: No. (And possibly yes.) Pluto is a planet or object in our solar system. Pluto rotates around our Sun just like Earth does. Our Sun is a star, and is much larger than Earth and Pluto. When you see stars in the night sky, you are looking at Suns that are located far beyond our solar system. So those stars must be larger than Pluto since they are further away from Pluto, yet you can see them. However there are many different types of stars or Suns in space. It is unknown exactly what size stars can be. So it is possible there is a star somewhere in space that is the same size as Pluto.


Do all-stars have the same size why or why not?
