The closest star is Proxima Centauri, in the Alpha Centauri complex. But close is not a good word if both suns were the size of ping pong balls they would be 2300Km apart. Not exactly close for ping pong balls. lol

α Cen C is the closest star to our star the Sun.
Alpha Centauri the closest star is actually a triple star system that lies at a distance of a little more than 4 light years from our Sun. The smallest companion of the three, "α Cen C", aka Proxima Centauri is the one that is closest by a distance of about 2½ light months.

The closest start is the sun (92 million miles).
Next is Proxima Centauri (4.2 light years = over 25 billion miles)
