How do yo define ordinary? For us the Sun is an Ordinary (mainstream) Star. It is not a Hyper Giant or a Dwarf Star. Its a G class yellow star that supports life on this planet.

Is sun one of the largest stars in the galaxy?
No. The sun is larger than the average star but is nothing out of the ordinary.
Why is the Sun is not the largest star?
The sun is a fairly ordinary star. It only appears larger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other.
What are the objects that are bigger than the sun?
Our sun is a rather ordinary star; there are countless stars in the Milky Way and other galaxies that are much larger. If you consider galaxies as 'objects', and it is not uncommon to do so, then any galaxy or star cluster would dwarf the sun.
Is there anything special about the sun that makes it different from the rest of the stars?
No. The sun is brighter than the average star, but nothing out of the ordinary. It is only of significance to us because it is the star that Earth orbits, and therefore closer to us than any other star by many orders of magnitude.
Is a star the sun?
the star is a sun
Is the sun the biggest star in the Milky Way?
No. The sun is fairly ordinary in size. The largest known star is VY Canis Majoris.
Is the earths sun the biggest star?
The Sun is classified as a medium to medium-small yellow star. As stars in our galaxy go, the Sun is, truthfully, about as ordinary as stars get - but it does the job!
Is sun one of the largest stars in the galaxy?
No. The sun is larger than the average star but is nothing out of the ordinary.
Why do you consider the sun is the brightest star?
It is only the brightest visible star because of its proximity. It is a very ordinary one.
What is unusual about the Sun compared to any other star?
There is nothing unusual about the sun. It is brighter and larger than average, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Why is the sun the biggest and hottest star in space?
It isn't. The sun is a fairly ordinary star. It only seems big and hot compared to other because it is much closer to us than any other star.
Why is the Sun is not the largest star?
The sun is a fairly ordinary star. It only appears larger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other.
Can the sun turn into a neutron star?
No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.
Are the stars you see smaller than the sun?
Some stars are smaller than the sun, some are smaller, and some are about the same size. The sun is a star that is larger than average, but not out of the ordinary.

What are the similarities between sun and star?
Our sun is a quite ordinary star, in an ordinary galaxy. The only differences would be size and distance. Our sun is about 93 million miles away from us, where as the closest star to us, is about 4.2 light years. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, therefore 4.2[(186,000 x 60 squared) x24 x365] = the distance in miles from our sun to the nearest star, this would be about 24,635,923,200,000 miles that's over 24 and a half trillion miles away! this is like going back and forth to the sun 132,451 times!
