The sun is considered a star because the sun IS a star. It is a huge ball of hot gases undergoing constant nuclear reactions, and releasing gigantic amounts of light, heat and various particles.
We can observe nearby stars moving forward and back against the background of distant stars (parallax). Scientific analysis coupled with observations show that the Earth is held in its orbit by the gravitational force of the Sun which is far more massive than the Earth.
A distant sun can be referred to as a star. Stars are luminous celestial bodies composed of hot gases that emit light and heat energy. They play a crucial role in the universe by providing light and energy to planets like our own Sun does for Earth.
Yes. The asteroid belt in between mars and jupiter is technically a ring around our sun. And also, some stars have accretion disks, which can be considered rings.
Yes, nearby stars generally have larger parallax angles than distant stars. Parallax is the apparent shift in the position of a star when observed from different points in Earth's orbit around the Sun. The closer a star is to Earth, the greater the angle of this shift, making it easier to measure compared to more distant stars, which exhibit much smaller angles due to their greater distances.
Stars are much farther away from Earth than the sun, causing them to appear smaller in the night sky despite their larger size. The sun is relatively closer to us, leading to its larger appearance compared to distant stars.
Stars are considered distant suns because they are similar to our Sun in that they emit light and energy through nuclear fusion. They are also massive celestial objects that exist in the universe, just like the Sun, but are located far away from our solar system.
Because the sun is a star. We just distinguish it because in history it always seemed something different (it being so close and big to our eyes).
because stars are balls of hot burning gases like our sun
Nothing. The stars shine all the time; the amount of radiation that the Sun receives from distant stars is so insignificant that it won't noticeable affect the Sun.
No. The stars are distant suns that emit their own light.
The sun appears larger than other stars in the sky because it is much closer to Earth than those stars. This proximity makes the sun's size and brightness more prominent in our view compared to the distant stars.

Are other stars the same as our sun? Stars are distant Suns, but so far away they look like points of light. They are giant balls of hot gas, just like our Sun. They are also like people. They are born, live through a long middle age, and finally die. Some stars are alone, like our Sun, and others have a constant companion, usually another star. Stars also change as they age. These changes take place over millions and billions of years so we don't notice them.
Yes. The asteroid belt in between mars and jupiter is technically a ring around our sun. And also, some stars have accretion disks, which can be considered rings.
The amount of light that reaches our solar system from stars other than the sun is very small becuase they are so distant. Technically, light from some those stars does relflect off the moon, but the amount is far too small for us to see.
Distant Sun was created in 1993-09.
