Why is the sun classified as a star when it is not seen as a twinkling dot in the night sky?
DiamondXmas
Because "twinkling dot in the night sky" is not the definition of a star.
We just happen to be really, really close to Sol (8.3 light minutes). In fact, our world orbits the closest star to us.
If we were as far from the sun as the next nearest star, it would be almost as lost in the night sky as Alpha Centauri is in our present sky. Our sun is larger than Alpha Centauri, but there are LOTS of other stars that would appear brighter than it from 4.5 light years away.Wiki User
