Any star other than our own sun is a fixed star. Therefore Proxima Centauri (a red dwarf star) and the Pole Star (Polaris) are fixed stars. Note that fixed stars only appear to be fixed but are actually in motion.
No, Proxima Centauri is not a yellow star. It is a red dwarf star, which means it has a cooler temperature and emits most of its light in the red and infrared spectrum.
As of June 2014, the closest known star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is located 4.24 light-years away from the Sun.
To my understanding, the Alpha Centauri system contains two binary stars (Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B) and a third star Alpha Centauri C or Proxima Centauri (which is the closest star to our sun)
Proxima Centauri, at about 4 light years, is the closest star after the Sun, followed immediately by the binary stars Alpha Centauri A and B. Proxima Centauri is thought to orbit the Alpha Centauri system in an extremely wide orbit. Theoretically there could be some as-yet-undiscovered small red dwarf or brown dwarf closer to the Sun than Proxima Centauri.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our sun-- but it's neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is nearly the same distance.
Proxima Centauri is a star. It has no life forms.
As the closest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri is in our galaxy.
No, Proxima Centauri is not a yellow star. It is a red dwarf star, which means it has a cooler temperature and emits most of its light in the red and infrared spectrum.

The nearest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system. It is located about 4.24 light-years away from Earth.
The closest star to Earth after the Sun is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system. It is located about 4.24 light years away from us.
Yes, Proxima Centauri is a main-sequence star and will remain so for about another four trillion years.
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.
As of June 2014, the closest known star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is located 4.24 light-years away from the Sun.
Alpha Centauri
The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system. Proxima Centauri is located approximately 4.24 light years away from Earth.
Not without a telescope. Proxima Centauri is a dim star.
