Best Answer

Our sun is a quite ordinary star, in an ordinary galaxy. The only differences would be size and distance. Our sun is about 93 million miles away from us, where as the closest star to us, is about 4.2 light years. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, therefore 4.2[(186,000 x 60 squared) x24 x365] = the distance in miles from our sun to the nearest star, this would be about 24,635,923,200,000 miles that's over 24 and a half trillion miles away! this is like going back and forth to the sun 132,451 times!

Outside the fact that they're all spherical, not much.

Stars shine and are hot.

Planets only reflect light and are cold ... and are considerably smaller.
