They are not. Stars are actually enormous, far larger than Earth. They appear small only because they are unimaginable far away.

Why the suns outshine the other stars?

It is closer to us than the other stars so we get a much, much larger fraction of its light compared to other stars. The other stars are so far away that even stars that are much brighter than our sun can only transmit such a small fraction of their light that the tiny fraction we get is consequently much less than the larger fraction of our somewhat dimmer sun.


Is the sun a medium sized star?

We used to think that the Sun was pretty average, as stars go, but recent researches indicate that there may be more - MANY more! - of the tiny red dwarf and brown dwarf stars than previously thought. Adding so many more tiny stars will skew the average lower, and it begins to look like the Sun may be more in the "above average" category. But yes, essentially the Sun is a medium or "medium large" star.

What do you think of the stars in the sky?

I have very bad vision...so when I look up into the sky, the stars look like fuzzy spots. When I got glasses I looked up and there so many stars I had never even seen before...I never had known there were so many stars because I could't see them. I also noticed how tiny they were...not like the big fuzzy spots that overlapped so I couldn't tell which star was which.
