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 big are stars to planets?

Planets are a lot bigger than stars except the sun... the sun is a star. So to me the answer is a star is bigger and the stars are also smaller.Let's think about the actual sizes, not just how they appear in the sky.You may be thinking of the apparent sizes as seen from Earth. Stars like our Sun are a lot bigger than planets and there's lots of stars bigger than the Sun.However there are also stars a lot smaller than the Sun. So some stars aresmaller than some planets.For example "white dwarfs" have a lot more mass than the Earth, but they arenot much bigger.Let's be clear though, most stars are bigger than planets.
