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.
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.
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.
Alpha Centauri is a binary star system, commonly known as Alpha Centauri ABAlpha Centauri A is about the same size and age as our Sun with a spectral type of G2VAlpha Centauri B is about 14% smaller that our Sun and a lot cooler having a spectral type of K1VThere is a third star, not surprisingly called Alpha Centauri C or Proxima Centauri which is the closest star to Earth.See related link for more information.
The Pole Star (Polaris) is not the closest star to our solar system. It is located about 434 light-years away. The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system and is located about 4.24 light-years away.

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.
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.
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.
Pollux is larger than Polaris. Pollux, a binary star in the constellation Gemini, has a radius about 8.5 times that of the Sun, while Polaris, the North Star in the constellation Ursa Minor, has a radius approximately 2.5 times that of the Sun. Thus, Pollux is significantly larger in size compared to Polaris.
Its apparent magnitude is about 2, but it's slightly variable. Usually it's given as 1.97v (where v means variable).

be larger than Alpha Centauri and farther away from Earth
Any star other than our own sun is a fixed star. Therefore Proxima Centauri (a red dwarf star) and the Pole Star (Polaris) are fixed stars. Note that fixed stars only appear to be fixed but are actually in motion.
The Pole Star (Polaris) is not the closest star to our solar system. It is located about 434 light-years away. The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system and is located about 4.24 light-years away.
the polaris is much larger than sun because polaris is a super giant star while sun is only a dwarf
