It's a red dwarf, so its lower limit is around 0.008 solar mass.
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is significantly larger than Proxima Centauri b, which is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri. Polaris is a supergiant star with a radius about 30 times that of the Sun, while Proxima Centauri is a small, low-mass star, about 14% the mass of the Sun. In terms of size, Polaris is vastly larger than Proxima Centauri b's host star.
Proxima Centauri is a star. It has no life forms.
Yes - It's mass is 0.123 that of the Sun
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.
The closest star to earth is the sun. The next closest is a red dwarf star called Proxima Centauri, much further away. The sun is around 8 minutes away at the speed of light, while Proxima Centauri is around 4.2 years away at the speed of light (light years).
Proxima Centauri is in the constellation Centaurus.
Proxima Centauri _IS_ a sun.

No, Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri do not revolve around each other.
As the closest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri is in our galaxy.
Yes - It's mass is 0.123 that of the Sun
Proxima Centauri - album - was created on 2001-10-15.
The distance to Proxima Centauri in parsecs can be calculated using the formula: distance (in parsecs) = 1 / parallax angle (in arcseconds). Therefore, the distance to Proxima Centauri is approximately 1.30 parsecs.
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.
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star with a surface temperature of around 3,000 degrees Celsius (5,432 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature is much cooler than our Sun, which has a surface temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit).
Simply because it is too dim to see with the naked eye. Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf; basically, red dwarves are much dimmer than our Sun.
