How Far Away Is Our Nearest Star System? Alpha Centauri

From the creator

How far would you need to travel to get to Alpha Centauri if the Sun was the size of a grain of sand? Before watching this video, have a guess in the comments! I also revisit our own Solar System and give a distance comparison like I did in my very first video.

I used that for the Alpha Centauri simulation.
