Depends on the star ... all are suns in their own systems, some are samller in size than our sun, others are larger. They appear to be small because they are so far away. Light travels at a finite speed. That distance, in one earth year, is a meaurement of both time and distance called a "light-year". Many of the stars we see are hundreds or thousands of light-years away.
