It depends on what star you compare it to. Stars have many different sizes. Our sun is a star and it is approximately a million times larger than the earth.
It is closer to Earth.
No, the sun is not a star but a star of average size compared to other stars in the universe. It is actually one of the closest stars to Earth, just 93 million miles away.
the sun is closer to earth than any other star........... ever! :) :)
The 3 factors that affect a star's brightness as viewed from earth, are: The star's age, distance from earth, and actual magnitude (scale a star's brightness is measured in).
The Sun is not a planet. It is a star. The Earth has gas on it, but it is not gaseous compared to the planets defined as gaseous. So your answer would be no the Sun and the Earth are not gaseous planets.
No. While a red dwarf star is quite dim compared to the sun. Viewed from up close, such a star would still be blindingly bright.
Stars are significantly larger than Earth. For example, the Sun's diameter is about 109 times that of Earth. Larger stars, such as Betelgeuse, can be hundreds or even thousands of times larger than the Sun.
The sun is the closest star to Earth, which is why it appears larger and brighter in our sky compared to other stars. Its proximity allows for more direct sunlight to reach us, making it appear more prominent.
No star is an earth.
The nearest star to Earth is the Sun.
The Earth's orbit - diameter about 300 million km. - is used for this purpose. In other words, the position of a star (compared to objects that are further away) is measured when Earth is at one side of its orbit, and then again 6 months later, when Earth is at the opposite side of its orbit.The Earth's orbit - diameter about 300 million km. - is used for this purpose.

The sun appears significantly dimmer from Jupiter compared to Earth because Jupiter is much farther away from the sun than Earth. The sun would look like just another bright star in the sky from Jupiter, rather than the intense, dominant source of light we see from Earth.
