Vega, Deneb, Pollux, Polaris, Procyon, and Alpha Centauri are all stars that vary in size. Their sizes are typically measured in terms of solar radii, where 1 solar radius is equivalent to the radius of our Sun. For example, Vega is roughly 2.1 times the size of our Sun, Deneb is estimated to be around 20 times larger, and Alpha Centauri A is slightly larger than the Sun.
Polaris (the North star - Alpha Ursae Minoris) is a triple star system, but appears to us as a single star. Alpha Centauri is also another triple star system. And there are many more.
Alpha Centauri A is a main-sequence star slightly larger and brighter than the Sun, while Alpha Centauri B is a smaller and cooler main-sequence star. Both stars are part of the Alpha Centauri star system and are in close proximity to each other, orbiting around a common center of mass.
The Pole Star (Polaris) is not the closest star to our solar system. It is located about 434 light-years away. The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system and is located about 4.24 light-years away.
No. Alpha Centauri is a three-star system consisting of two stars similar in size to the sun and a red dwarf.

Polaris by far. It has a diameter of 75 times the diameter of the Sun. Alpha Cen B has a diameter of 1.7 solar diameters.

Antares and Betelgeuse are supergiant stars, while Polaris is not. Alpha Centauri is a binary star system consisting of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri.
Its apparent magnitude is about 2, but it's slightly variable. Usually it's given as 1.97v (where v means variable).

be larger than Alpha Centauri and farther away from Earth
Any star other than our own sun is a fixed star. Therefore Proxima Centauri (a red dwarf star) and the Pole Star (Polaris) are fixed stars. Note that fixed stars only appear to be fixed but are actually in motion.
The Pole Star (Polaris) is not the closest star to our solar system. It is located about 434 light-years away. The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri star system and is located about 4.24 light-years away.
the polaris is much larger than sun because polaris is a super giant star while sun is only a dwarf
The main star of the Polaris System has a mass which is 4.5 times that of the sun.
