Alpha A- B are twin stars and proxima centauri is dwarf star a planet revolves it called proxima centauri- B, this planet lies in habitable zone and yet it has a possibility for life but this planet is 4.2 light years away even it is the closest star to earth but the distance is high 24 trillion miles away
How far it is
For Example If we travel to proxima-B with the help of NASA voyager 1 spacecraft which is moving at a speed of 38,000 miles per hour it will take 70,000 years to reach this planet is close to its star probably it has a chance of tidal locking which means one side of the planet face is always day and another side dark night always there is no day night cycles
the habitable zone in the planet is at the Twilight zone where the day and night meets gravity is about 10% greater than earth
