A Bit of Astrophysics.
Our Sun and Alpha Centauri are both stars, but there are several key differences between them.
Firstly, our Sun is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, while Alpha Centauri is a triple star system consisting of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri.
Secondly, our Sun has a mass of about 1.989 × 10^30 kilograms, whereas Alpha Centauri A and B have masses slightly larger than our Sun, and Proxima Centauri has a much smaller mass.
Finally, in terms of distance, our Sun is about 4.37 light-years away from Alpha Centauri, making it the closest star system to us. Overall, while our Sun and Alpha Centauri share some similarities, their differences make them unique and fascinating celestial objects.
