Because it is the largest object in the solar system (almost 99 percent of the solar system is the Sun).

Why does the sun appear so large in our bright sky?
because it closer to earth than other stars so it appears larger
Why does the sun appear to be so large?
because its the biggest planet in the soloar system its about 90% percent
How does the moon appear to shine so brightly in the night sky?
because it will absorb the light of sun and reflected back to the earth. thats why...
Why does it appear that our shadow changes or moves throughout the day?
The shadow is caste by the Sun. As the Earth is spinning on its axis, so the Sun appears to move across the sky. As it does so, so the cast shadow also moves.
Why do patterns of stars in the sky stay the same although they appear to move across the sky nightly?
The patterns appear the same because the stars are so far away that their movement is not apparent to our eyes. They move across the sky because the earth is rotating and that makes it look like the stars are moving. Just like the sun does not move across the sky, the earth rotates and the sun appears to move, the same is with the stars.
Why do stars and the sun appear different?
Stars appear different from the sun because the sun is closer to the earth and the other stars are further away from the earth so that's why the appear differently when you look at them in the sky!!!!!

Why does the sun appear larger than the other stars in the night sky?
That's because our sun is so very much closer.
Why does the sun appear so bright in the sky?

Why does the sun appear to be so different from the other stars in the sky?
Because it is the closest star to the earth and it can be seen so easily.
In what direction does the sun appear to travel across the sky in each day?
Sun rises in the East and sets in the west. So it travels westwards during the day.
What way does a star a appear in night sky?
A star can only appear to an observer on the dark side of the Earth, facing away from the Sun, so that the star's light can be seen.

Why is the sky and water blue?
The sky is blue because of Rayleigh scattering -- blue photons scatter off air molecules to a large extent, while the other colors travel directly in straight lines from the sun, making the sky appear blue and the sun appear yellow (white minus blue). In space, or on the airless moon, the sky is black and sun is white. It is NOT true that oceans look blue due to sky reflection. Water also scatters blue light, so the explanation of its color is largely the same as that for the sky.

How does the tilt of the axis cause us to see different constellations in different seasons?
No, but the fact that the Earth orbits the Sun does do that. Because of the way sunlight ins scattered through our atmosphere (and because the Sun is incredibly bright), we cannot see stars that appear near the Sun in the sky; the Sun has to go below the horizon for any stars to be visible. Stars that are near the Sun in the sky are not visible. So as the Earth goes around the Sun, a different set of stars appear to be "behind" the Sun, near it in the sky, each season.
