This is the order from smallest stars to the biggest stars: Alpha Centauri, Procyon, Vega, Pollux, Polaris, and Deneb. These are the size(diameter) of them; though the size of the stars are not 100% accurate so they are likely to be predicted. Alpha Centauri is 1,527,000 Procyon is 2,652,000 Vega is 3,827,000 Pollux is 11,617,000 Polaris is 44,217,000 and Deneb is 203,000,000

What characteristics do Alpha Centauri Polaris and the sun have in common?

Alpha Centauri, Polaris, and the Sun are all stars that emit light and heat through nuclear fusion processes in their cores. They are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with varying degrees of other elements. Additionally, they all belong to the main sequence category, although Polaris is classified as a supergiant and is in a different evolutionary stage compared to the Sun and Alpha Centauri, which are both more stable main-sequence stars. Finally, they each play crucial roles in their respective local stellar systems, influencing the gravitational dynamics of surrounding celestial bodies.
