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.

Why are stars always there at night?
Stars are there day and night. During the day the sun, which is a star, is so bright that you cannot see the other stars. So that is why we only see stars at night. As we orbit the sun we do see different stars throughout the year. So ones that are not visible on a particular day will be visible at night at another time of the year.
What is the sun if it gives its own light?
The sun is a star. It looks a lot bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other star, so it outshines them. That is why you don't see other stars during daylight, although they are there. The sun is too bright for them to be seen except before sunrise and after sunset, when only the brightest stars can be seen. As it gets brighter in the morning, less stars can be seen and as it gets darker in the evening more can be seen. If you know where and when to look, you can sometimes see stars starting to shine as it gets darker.
Every night you see the usual stars... the big dipper and others. What stars are on the other side of the planet where it is daytime?
The star that can be seen on the other side of the planet where it is daytime is the Sun, which is so bright -- except for during a total eclipse -- it outshines all the other stars. To see what is/was behind the sun you will have to wait half a year until the earth's orbit takes it to the other side of the sun. Then the night sky will show you the stars that the sun was hiding. The constellations that are hidden by the sun in this way are those that form the zodiac. Constellations like the big dipper in the north are circumpolar (they are above rather than on a level with the sun) and thus remain visible all year.
