The Sun (and all the planets) started their lives in a giant cloud of cold molecular gas and dust. And then about 4.6 billion years ago, something bumped into the cloud, like the gravity from a passing star, or shockwaves from a supernova, causing the cloud to collapse. With the collapse, the mutual gravity from the particles in the cloud pulled together, and formed pockets of denser material in the cloud. These were star forming regions, and one of them was to become the Solar System.
From the distance of Pluto, the Sun would look like a very bright star.
Stars are like the sun big balls of gas! I did my science project on how a star was made, the sun is a star, so in space stars look like the sun, but you have to get closer to see the resemblance, Google Stars or Sun then click on images you should get a result about exactly what the might look like.
It looks like a volcano. +++ No it doesn't. A volcano is in rock. The Sun (or any similar star) is a ball of extremely hot, radioactive, gas.
Our sun is a star - like the others
It would be no brighter than some planets as seen from Earth : brighter than the other stars but not much larger. Since Pluto is so far away from the sun (at a average distance of 3,670,050,000 miles), the sun would look much dimmer and smaller that it does from here on Earth. From Pluto, the sun would look like a very bright star and would light up Pluto during the day about as much as the full moon lights up Earth at night.
because the light of stars travel and twinkles before our eyes,, :|Actually, the atmosphere's interference makes them look like they are twinkling, the light from the star is actually solid. Like our sun. Our sun is a star.

No, the Sun is a star. All stars are huge, hot, bright burning balls of gas like the Sun - the only reason they don't look like that are because all the other stars are much further away from us. A planet is a large round object that orbits a star. Stars like the Sun give out light, planets do not shine.

Like a star only bigger and a LOT brighter...
A star is a ball of hot gases and plasma. (It's not actually "on fire", but it's similar to a ball of fire in that fire is also mainly hot gases and plasma.) The Sun is a star, so you could look for pictures of the Sun if you wanted to get an idea of what a typical star would look like "up close."
It will be a white dwarf star.
As a protostar, it was likely a large (larger than it is now) ball of loose, perhaps faintly reddish glowing gas.
The sun is a star.
depends on how far away it is! Our sun, which is only 93 million miles away is a medium star.
The Sun. If not for the Sun, we wouldn't ever look at any other star.
the earth itself receives light from the sun. but it has the moon. the moon is the answer i think.
