It is closer to us than the other stars so we get a much, much larger fraction of its light compared to other stars. The other stars are so far away that even stars that are much brighter than our sun can only transmit such a small fraction of their light that the tiny fraction we get is consequently much less than the larger fraction of our somewhat dimmer sun.
No, the sun is not the largest object in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a galaxy containing billions of stars, and the sun is just one of those stars. There are many other much larger stars and even larger structures within the Milky Way.
No, the Sun is an average-sized star compared to other stars in the universe. There are much larger stars, known as supergiants, which can be hundreds of times larger than the Sun.
The Sun appears larger than other stars because it is much closer to Earth compared to other stars. This proximity makes the Sun appear larger and brighter in our sky. In reality, the Sun is an average-sized star compared to the vast range of sizes of other stars in the universe.
No. Stars are much larger than planets or moons. Stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own.
The sun is larger than some of the other stars. There are many stars that are larger than the sun.
The sun larger than most other stars, but there are stars larger than the sun as well, some much larger. For example, Antares is a red supergiant 800 times the sun's diameter.
False. The sun is one of billions of stars in the Milky Way, but it is not exceedingly large. The sun is larger than the average star, but nothing out of the ordinary. There are many stars much larger than the sun. The sun only appears larger than other stars because it is much closer to Earth.

The sun is a star. It is larger than some stars but smaller than others. It only appears larger than other stars because it is much closer to us.
The north star, otherwise know as Polaris, is brighter than many other stars because it is much closer and perhaps larger than many other stars.
The sun is much closer to Earth than any other star, so it appears much larger to us.
That's because the sun is MUCH more closer to us than the other stars.
No, the Sun is an average-sized star compared to other stars in the universe. There are much larger stars, known as supergiants, which can be hundreds of times larger than the Sun.
