Why do all stars except our Sun appear only as tiny dots in the sky?

They are unimaginably far away. The sun is "only" about 93 million miles from Earth. The next nearest star, Proxima Centuari is about 265,000 times farther away than the sun is. To scale it down, if the sun were an inch from your face, Proxima Centauri would be more than 4 miles away. Many of the stars you see at night are dozens to hundreds of times farther away than Proxima Centauri.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 green stars?
Super Mario Galaxy 2 has 242 stars in the game, just like the prequel. However, the green stars only appear after you get 120 stars.Green stars appear in every galaxy (except Grandmaster Galaxy). Usually there are 2-3 green stars in a galaxy. Now the objective is to find the hidden stars in the galaxy, which can prove quite challenging.After getting all the green stars, you end up with 240 stars, which will unlock the final galaxy: the aforementioned Grandmaster Galaxy. There are 2 stars in the galaxy, which will bring the total to a satisfying 242.So in summary, you can only get the green stars after having 120 stars.I hope that helped!- Ryanthelion

Because we are closer to the sun than to the stars. The sun is bigger than SOME stars. Stars can be all different sizes. Some stars are in fact smaller than our sun but not as small as they appear to be. On the other hand, some stars are hundreds even thousands times larger than the sun we see. They only look small because they are so far away.

How do you become a goblin on RuneScape?
You cannot become a goblin on Runescape. The only way is using a glitch and then you will be banned. A goblin is an NPC - a non-player character, controlled by the computer. Other real players appear as white dots on the minimap, while NPCs (both monsters and NPCs which you can't fight against - such as the Lumbridge Guide and other tutors) appear as yellow dots.
