all depends on a more specific question... is it closest star OTHER than the sun? Or is it a trick question and we are supposed to say none of the above because it is the sun? If its other than the sun, than the answer is Proxima Centauri.

Sol

Soleil?

That's just French for "sun". Latin is the "formal" name, sort of like Terra for earth.

The full name might be "sol solis", if Google isn't leading me wrong.

Those aren't stars in the sky, those are really holes in a big black blanket covering the world.

 

[SparkyJJO]

the sun of course!

You needed to search Google to figure out the Sun is the closest star? You need to get out in the sun more.

"solis" is the genitive. "sol, solis" a list of principal forms, like "do, did, done".

The obvious reason for this poll is the OP just learned that the sun is a star.

Stupid question. I assumed you meant other than the sun, because I assumed that no one would ask such a stupid question.

I guess I was wrong.

 

[Crescent13]

The sun n00b

The sad part is that more people voted for Alpha than Proxima Centauri.

sun technically.... but alpha centauri is the next closest, right?
