Detailed explanation-1: -Though sun is not the biggest or brightest star, it appears so because it is the nearest star from us. Since the distance is very less, it appears bigger and brighter. As the distance of other stars from us increases, their brightness and size appears to be less.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sun is a medium size star that only looks larger and brighter than other stars because it is closer to us. Hence, the correct answer is Option B: False. Note: There are many other stars larger than the sun in the universe.
