Alpha Centauri is a binary star system with two stars ("A" and "B") nearly the same mass as the sun. Alpha Centuri A is 1.1 times the mass of the sun (bigger), while Alpha Centuri B is 0.9 times the mass of the sun (smaller).
No; in fact, the Alpha Centauri system is the closest star system to Earth.The closest star to us is the Sun; the next-closest star is Proxima Centauri, part of the Alpha Centauri system.
Proxima Centauri Alpha Centauri A Alpha Centauri B
Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to Earth, located about 4.37 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest known star to the Sun.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our sun-- but it's neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is nearly the same distance.
The third closest star will be either Alpha Centauri A or Alpha Centauri B depending on the time of observation.

Proxima Centauri Alpha Centauri A Alpha Centauri B
Yes, Alpha Centauri is significantly larger than Earth. Alpha Centauri is a star system that includes three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. The stars in this system are much larger and more massive than Earth, with Alpha Centauri A being similar to our Sun in size and mass. In contrast, Earth is a terrestrial planet, much smaller than any star.
The closest star system to our Sun is Alpha Centauri, which consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest to the Sun at a distance of about 4.24 light-years.
Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to Earth, located about 4.37 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the closest known star to the Sun.
The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri (Alpha Centauri C).
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our sun-- but it's neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is nearly the same distance.
Alpha Centauri
Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B form a binary star system, while Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star that is located further away from the binary system. Together, these three stars make up the Alpha Centauri system, which is the closest star system to the Sun.
The third closest star will be either Alpha Centauri A or Alpha Centauri B depending on the time of observation.
Alpha Centauri A
Alpha Centauri is a binary star system, commonly known as Alpha Centauri ABAlpha Centauri A is about the same size and age as our Sun with a spectral type of G2VAlpha Centauri B is about 14% smaller that our Sun and a lot cooler having a spectral type of K1VThere is a third star, not surprisingly called Alpha Centauri C or Proxima Centauri which is the closest star to Earth.See related link for more information.
