Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun, at 4.2 LY. Curiously, even though it is the closest, it is not visible to the naked eye! Proxima Centauri is a tiny red dwarf star, and requires a fair-sized telescope to see.
For a long time, many people thought that the closest star was Alpha Centauri, which isn't entirely incorrect. The Alpha Centauri system is actually a double star with a very distant triple; Alpha Centauri A (also known as Rigel Kent) and Alpha Centauri B form a binary system, and Proxima, Alpha Centauri C, is very distantly linked at about 0.3 LY.
the closest star I can think of is the alpha centorie system it has there are 3 bynary stars in it though
Since Alpha Centauri is a trinary, the fourth closest star is Barnard's Star, a red dwarf in the constellation Ophiuchus, about six light years away.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Solar System. It is 4.24 light years away, appoximately.
Apart from our own sun which is in the solar system the closest star to us is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years away.
It is 1 or 3 stars in the Alpha Centauri triple star system.
After our own Sun, the nearest known star is Proxima Centauri.
no
The nearest star to the Earth is the Sun, the nearest Galaxy is the Milky Way, the one we live in.
The solar system is comprised of many things, like various gases and solids. Our nearest celestial neighbour is the moon. The nearest star to us is the sun.
That would be the "Oort Cloud" of comets.
No, the nearest star to the Earth, other than the Sun, is Proxima Centauri and it is 4.2 light years away.
no
The nearest to mine is Alpha Centauri.
The nearest star - apart from our Sun is 4.2 light years away
The nearest star to the Earth is the Sun, the nearest Galaxy is the Milky Way, the one we live in.
No, the solar system is centred on one star, our star called the Sun. The next nearest star is about 9000 times further away than Neptune.
The Sun
The nearest star is about 4.2 light years away. So; 39,734,219,300,000 kilometres

the sun is. It is also the ONLY star in THIS solar system.
Yes. It's the nearest star system to our Solar System, at a distance of about 4.3 light-years.
