Is there a star that orbits a much larger star?

This popped in my head because I was wondering if the orbiting star had orbiting planets would these planets have temperature fluctuations from both stars? To make my question clear imagine earth was a star orbiting the sun, would the moons temperature raise significantly when I between both stars?

Yes, there are lots of stars that orbit other stars. We are finding that so called 'binary stars', where two stars are in orbit around each other, may well be more common that solitary stars like our own Sun.

For instance, the nearest 'star', Alpha Centauri, is a complex of three stars - two stars somewhat smaller than our Sun that orbit each other closely, and a third, smaller one that is probably in a distant orbit.
