The Sun is a star. When we see the Sun (NEVER look directly at the Sun), what we see is light coming from the Sun itself. When we see a planet or a moon (LOOK at planets - they are fascinating!) what we see is the Sun's light reflected off the surface of the planet/moon.
The other stars that you see in the night sky are suns themselves, some smaller, some larger, and some very similar to our own Sun. They look (even the really huge ones!) so little because they are so impossibly far away.

I'll leave what was here because it is commonly accepted, but in fact, the sun cannot be a star because the definition of the word star is: a celestial body of hot gases that radiates energy derived from thermonuclear reactions in the interior. The sun is not actually made of gases as some people may think, but an uncommon state of matter called plasma. Plasma is even higher up in thermal energy than gases are so that makes it different from gases. Just wanted to let you know because the other answer is so commonly accepted.
What else can I help you with?
Is the sun a cold star?
The sun is a star that is alot closer than all of the other stars
What is the relationship between the stars and the sun?
The sun is also a star.
Do stars orbit around the sun?
No. The sun is a star like any other; it holds no special place in the galaxy. The stars, including the sun, orbit the center of the galaxy. There are also stars in other galaxies.
How many stars are there in our solar system?
Our sun is actually a small star, tons of stars are way bigger than our sun. One. Each star is a sun.
Is our sun is the brightest star?
The sun is the brightest star as seen from Earth, but that is only because it is much closer to us than any other star.
Can you cnsiderd other star as sun also?
Yes, all stars' are suns'.
Why do you consider the sun to be the most important star?
It gives off heat. If there was no sun we would be dead.
Does the sun have living things on it?
No, the temperatures on the sun are too hot to be survivable. There are also other reasons, such as it is actually a star, not a planet.
Is it hotter on a star or the sun if were right next to each other and and they never were before in the whole sun and star existence?
The sun is a star.
Sun a star or asteroid?
The sun is a star. It is a massive ball of gas that produces heat and light through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. Asteroids, on the other hand, are small rocky objects that orbit the sun.
How is the sun different then the other planets?
The Sun is a star.
Why the sun is also a star?
Becaus the Sun is the name we have given to the star nearest to us.
Sun is actually a star?
The sun is a star, the closest star to our earth. Indeed, our earth and the other planets of our solar system orbit the sun.
Why do you consider the sun as the brightest year?
The sun is not a year or any other length of time. It is a star. It is the brightest star to us as it is the star that all the planets in our solar system revolve around, therefore it is the closest to us and so it appears the brightest. There are many other stars far larger and brighter than our own but we are not close enough to them to receive their light more than our own sun.
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.
Is the sun a cold star?
The sun is a star that is alot closer than all of the other stars
What is the next closest star to your earth?
Proxima Centauri and even sun( sun is also a star)
