The sun is closer to Earth than any of the other stars. Light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach Earth, but light from others stars take years to reach Earth. They both are giant balls of hot gas.

Compare and contrast super giants and giant stars?
super giants are much cooler.
What does an H-R diagram compare?
The H-R diagram compares a stars surface existing temperature to its absolute luminosity. By measuring the sun from the center of diagram, the star is used for reference.
What is the brightest star on the H-R diagram?
The "supergiant" stars are the brightest stars on the H-R diagram.
Are most of the stars on the HR diagram are classified as which type of star?
stars there called stars
Why does the H-R diagram constructed from the data on the brightest stars differ so much from the diagram constructed data on the nearest stars?
The nearest stars - assuming all stars up to a certain distance are actually known - are representative of the general star population. The brightest stars are not. They are... brighter than the average stars.
