Alpha Centauriâs surface temperature is a few degrees Kelvin less than our sun (that is, about 5770 k), but its greater diameter (about 25% more than the sun) and the overall larger surface area gives it a luminosity nearly 1.6 times that of our star.
Proximaâs orbit around the two primary stars in the Alpha Centauri system is thought to take as long as half a billion years. Itâs the closest star to our Earth and sun, about a trillion kilometers closer than the other two star in the Alpha Centauri system. Hence its name.lpha Centauri is part of a double, or triple, star system. The two main components are Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. The third star, a red dwarf called Proxima Centauri, is thought to be about 4.22 light-years distant and is actually our sunâs closest neighbor among the stars.
