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
Polaris (the North star - Alpha Ursae Minoris) is a triple star system, but appears to us as a single star. Alpha Centauri is also another triple star system. And there are many more.
Operation Alpha Centauri happened in 1986.
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.
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.
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.
Antares and Betelgeuse are supergiant stars, while Polaris is not. Alpha Centauri is a binary star system consisting of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri.
Polaris (the North star - Alpha Ursae Minoris) is a triple star system, but appears to us as a single star. Alpha Centauri is also another triple star system. And there are many more.
Polaris by far. It has a diameter of 75 times the diameter of the Sun. Alpha Cen B has a diameter of 1.7 solar diameters.

Alpha Centauri A has an apparent magnitude of -0.01
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.
As of current knowledge, there are no known satellites orbiting Alpha Centauri, which is our closest neighboring star system. However, further exploration may potentially discover any satellites that might exist.
Alpha Centauri does not orbit the sun.
No, Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri do not revolve around each other.
Alpha Centauri has a mass of 1.1 solar masses.
