A star like Alpha Canis Majoris (Sirius A) can be extremely hot yet emit relatively little light if it has a specific size, age, or composition that affects its luminosity. For instance, if a star is relatively small or in a later stage of its life cycle, it may have high temperatures but lower overall energy output. Additionally, factors such as its distance from Earth and interstellar dust can also impact the visibility of the light it produces. Thus, a star can be hot but still appear dim due to these various factors.
Alpha radiation does not have a colour. In order for something to have a colour, it must emit rays of visible light. Alpha radiation and light are two different things which have little to do with each other.
Alpha Centauri (the brightest star in the constellation Centaurus) is the closest star to earth, and is actually a double star system - when it's small companion star is on "our side" of Alpha C, it is actually closest. The system is about 4.3 light years away. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, a white giant, and is about 9 light years away.
4.3 light years===========================Sorry. "Light year" is an answer to "how far", not "how long".Alpha Centauri is about 4.4 light years away from our solar system and everything in it,which means that it takes AC's light about 4.3 years to get here.
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.

There is no single star called "alpha" - alpha is just a prefix for a star in each constellation - often the brightest one. Thus, there is Alpha Centauri, Alpha Cruxis, Alpha Canis Majoris, etc. - basically one for each of the 88 constellations.

VY Canis Majoris is about 4,900 light years from earth.

nope
The Sun closest to Earth is our own Sun, which is located about 93 million miles away. The next closest star system to Earth is Alpha Centauri, which is about 4.37 light years away, much closer than 4500 light years.
Beta Canis Minoris (Gomeisa) is a star in the constellation of Canis Minor. It is approximately 170 light years from Earth.
That would be "Alpha Centauri". The distance is about 4.4 light-years.
The distance has been generally presented in Light-years, which is the distance light travels in one-year. The distance to Alpha Centari is 4.7 light-years (alpha Centari is 4.3 light-years distance).
Alpha Centauri is a triple star system. Alpha Centauri A, B & C or Proxima Centauri. Alpha Centauri A & B are 4.37 light years from the Earth whereas Alpha Centauri C is 4.243 light years.
The distance to Alpha Centauri is about 4.3 light-years.
