Duke is right, the sun is the closest star.

Alpha Centauri is the next closest.

Why, yes it is =) Our sun is a yellow dwarf, a G class star as far as stars go.

A planet? Wow, your answer is just amazingly unbelieveable. The answer a troll might give, or a really stupid person. Which are you?

Yeah, you're definitely wrong.
