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: -Answer: the sun looks very small because the difference between earth and sky is so far .
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -This flattening of the sun on the horizon is an example of a mirage. Mirages are not illusions; they are images formed as light bends on its passage through the atmosphere. This bending, called refraction, explains many everyday phenomena.
Detailed explanation-5: -The simple answer is that the Sun is the closest star to Earth, about 93 million miles away. But that might not answer your question. Outside of our Sun, our system’s nearest neighbor is Alpha Centauri. This isn’t a single star, it’s actually a triple-star system-three stars bound together by gravity.
