Because it's much closer to Earth. For comparison:* It takes light from the Sun a little more than 8 minutes to reach Earth.
* It takes light from Toliman - the next-closest star, after the Sun - about 4.3 years to reach Earth.

∙ 7y agoBecause the sun is closer to us than any other star, and therefore it seems bigger and brighter; however there are many monster stars out there far larger than our sun

Why does the sun look bigger and brighter than all the other stars?
It is the closest star to us and that is why it looks bigger and brighter.
Why does the sun appear bigger and brighter than the other stars?
The sun appears bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other stars.
Are stars bigger than moons?
Yes, much bigger. The stars appear tiny because they are unimaginably far away. The stars we see at night are suns, some bigger and brighter than out son, some with their own planets orbiting them.
Why some stars appear bigger and brighter than others?
A stars brightness depends on two factors; its distance from us and its actual brightness (absolute magnitude). The actual brightness of a star depends on various factors, such as its mass, its temperature and its age.Consider two stars of the same actual brightness (absolute magnitude) - if one of them is much closer, then is will be brighter than the further one. It will appear brighter, even though it would be the same side by side - it can be said to be apparently brighter (higher apparent magnitude) due to its distance.A:They appear bigger and brighter because they really are bigger and brighter, but even if they are not bigger and brighter it could be because they are closer.

Why does a medium-siza star appear brighter than the others?
Because some stars are closer then the others. Maybe a star isn't so big, but if its closer then a bigger one, then it looks shinier.
Why does the sun look very much bigger and brighter than other star?
Because it is closer to us than other stars.
How can stars have different absolute brightness?
Big stars are brighter than small stars, and hot stars are brighter than cool ones.
What is process by which stars become brighter than suns?
Stars and suns, collectively, are the same things. The Sun looks brighter just because it is a lot closer, but really it is only a very average star.
What are the four stars bigger than sun?
Actully, there are more than just four stars bigger than the sun. 5% of the stars are bigger than the sun. The sun just looks so big because it's closer to Earth. :~)
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 look bigger than the other stars?
It is closer than all of the other stars, therefore looking bigger.
