Key Differences
- ◆ Both are members of the Alpha Centauri system, the nearest stellar system to the Sun.
- ◆ Rigil Kentaurus (Alpha Cen A) is a G-type solar analog; Proxima Centauri is an M-type red dwarf.
- ◆ Rigil Kentaurus is slightly more massive and luminous than the Sun; Proxima Centauri has just 12% of the Sun's mass.
- ◆ Proxima Centauri orbits the Alpha Centauri AB pair at a vast distance of roughly 0.2 light-years.
- ◆ Rigil Kentaurus is visible to the naked eye at magnitude −0.01; Proxima is invisible without a telescope.
