The sun is often referred to as "the Sun" with a capital "S" because it is our closest star and the primary source of light and energy for Earth. Other stars are simply referred to as "stars" to distinguish them from our own Sun.
Because it's a dwarf star.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/stars/startypes/ ---- Because it is a star. All of those bright spots in the sky at night are stars, and the vast majority of them have something in orbit around them. We have named our star "the sun" or "sol" (hence Solar System:)
good question karen321!
The sun is just a name that us humans gave to the star. the Sun is a very special star that provides heat and light to us on earth and made everything light. No other star can do this on its own. This is why we gave it the name.
Any star can have planets orbiting it. They have found such star in the universe. We do not know yet if it can hold light or not. But you can say that those stars are suns also. There are many suns in our universe.
Because this is what a star is:
1.any of the heavenly bodies, except the moon, appearing as fixed luminous points in the sky at night.2.Astronomy. any of the large, self-luminous, heavenly bodies, as the sun, Polaris, etc.3.any heavenly body.4.Astrology. a heavenly body, esp. a planet, considered as influencing humankind and events.5.a person's destiny, fortune, temperament, etc., regarded as influenced and determined by the stars.6.a conventionalized figure usually having five or six points radiating from or disposed about a center.7.this figure used as an ornament, award, badge, mark of excellence, etc.: The movie was awarded three stars.
Stars are suns. Just most are very VERY far away. That's just the closest star to earth.
The sun is a star, it's the only star we can see during the daytime, so it can be called the daytime star
