Detailed explanation-1: -Movement in the eye’s vitreous gel. The vitreous gel that is in front of the retina can move around, sometimes pulling on the retina itself. As a result, the retina sends light signals to the brain, causing sparkles, stars, or flashes of light to appear in the field of vision.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because of the closer distance, the sun looks very big compared to the other stars. The other stars are far away from our planet like millions of kilometres away compared to the distance from the sun. Hence, they look very small.
