Are all suns stars?

No, all stars aren't suns. A sun is a star that is at the center of a solar system. Planets rotate around the sun. Planets don't rotate around a normal star. A star can be found anywhere around the universe. That's not the case with planets. Planets have to be in a solar system and a sun has to be in the center. If this is the case with a star, then that star can be called a sun.
