3. The Sun is the closest star to Earth, about 93 million miles away
The Sun is the closest star to Earth, about 93 million miles away. The Sun's nearest neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is actually a triple-star system — three stars bound together by gravity. Alpha Centauri A and B are two bright, closely orbiting stars with a distant, dim companion, Proxima Centauri. Alpha Centauri A (α Cen A) has 1.1 times the mass and times the luminosity of the Sun, while Alpha Centauri B (α Cen B) is smaller and cooler

In addition to a 3, I can teach another student about how/why the position of the sun and moon in combination with Earth’s rotation and revolution causes the seasons, day and night, phases of the moons, eclipses and constellations. In addition, I am able to explain how the life cycle of a star influences Earth, our galaxy and the universe. 3
