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 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some stars are naturally more luminous than others, so the brightness level from one star to the next can be significantly different. A star’s actual brightness refers to how much power a star has-which can also be explained as the amount of wattage it has (think of light bulbs!).
