Because Mars is farther away from the Sun than the Earth. Anything farther away will look smaller.
Why are other stars not bright like the sun?
The other stars do not appear as bright as the sun because they are much farther away. Even the closest stars apart from the sun are hundreds of thousands of times farther away. In terms of actual brightness, some stars are brighter than the sun.
What percentage of visible stars are closer to the earth than the sun?
None are. The sun is the closest star to Earth. The next nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 260,000 times farther away than the sun is.
The farther a star is away from earth the more it is?
red shifted
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
Is the sun nearest to earth among all stars?
Yes. The NEXT nearest star is about 265 thousand times farther from usthan the sun is, and all the other stars are even farther away.
Which is farther the stars or Saturn?
The stars, apart from our Sun, are much farther away than Saturn.
Do astronauts go past the stars?
No. The stars are much farther away than any spacecraft we have sent, manned or unmanned. The farthest any astronauts have been from Earth is around the far side of the moon, the closest object in space to Earth. Even the closest stars (other than the sun) are millions of times farther away.

How long does it take for light from other stars hits the earth?
From Toliman, it takes a little over 4 years. Other stars are farther away, so it takes still longer.
Does the medium of space make distance stars appear to be more red shifted only because they are farther away?
Distant stars appear red shifted because they are travelling away from Earth. It just happens that more distant stars are moving faster, so there is a greater red-shift the further a star is from the Earth.
What does it means when the moon is next of a star?
It doesn't mean anything. There are always stars next to the Moon. Actually the stars are much farther away, but the stars that happen to be in the same direction seem to be next to the Moon.It doesn't mean anything. There are always stars next to the Moon.
