Detailed explanation-1: -The sun is a medium size star that appears larger and brighter than other stars because it is closer to us.
Detailed explanation-2: -A star’s brightness also depends on its proximity to us. The more distant an object is, the dimmer it appears. Therefore, if two stars have the same level of brightness, but one is farther away, the closer star will appear brighter than the more distant star-even though they are equally bright!
Detailed explanation-3: -Some stars are closer and some are farther away. The closer a star is to us, the brighter it will appear. Also, stars come in a variety of sizes and brightnesses. Larger stars usually shine more brightly than smaller stars do.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun looks bigger than other stars because it is so much closer to the Earth. The further away an object is, the smaller it appears, even if it is very big.
