Explanation: 

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: -In fact, the Sun is a star. The only reason why the Sun looks so much bigger and so much brighter than the other stars is that it is much closer to Earth. When we look up at the night sky, we might also see a faint band of light across part of it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sun appears bigger and brighter compared to other stars because it is closer to the earth than other stars. There are stars which are much bigger and brighter than the sun but they are faraway and hence, they appear much smaller in comparison to the Sun.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore there are many stars out there that are larger than the sun. 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.
