Alpha Centari is the nearest star to the Solar System's Sun. Alpha Centari is thought to be in the order of at least 4 to 7 billion years old. The Sun's age is estimated to be at the low end 4.6, and thus likely to be much younger. Another difference is that Alpha Centari is really a binary star system, while the Sun is the only star in the Solar System.

How far is alpha centari b in miles?

Alpha Centauri B is about 4.37 light years away from our sun. One light year is about 5,878,625,373,183.61 (almost 6 trillion) miles away. So that means that Alpha Centauri B is about 25,689,592,880,812.38 (about 26 trillion) miles from our sun. If you look at it in kilometers one light year equals 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (about 10 trillion km). So that means that Alpha Centauri B is about 41,343,392,165,178.1 (about 41.5 trillion) kilometers away or about 41 petameters.
