99.5% of the mass of the entire solar system is in the Sun. And more than 99% of the energy generated in the solar system is also from the sun. It's the largest mass in the solar system, and it's generating almost all the solar system's power - it stands to reason it's going to be the biggest and brightest thing in the solar system.

What would the sun look like from the furthermost planet in your solar system?

From the furthest planet in our solar system, Neptune, the sun would appear as a very bright point of light in the sky. It would be much fainter and smaller compared to how it appears from Earth, due to the increased distance and the inverse square law of light. The sun would also appear dimmer due to the thicker atmosphere and greater distance it has to travel.
