Why does a star called as a luminous?

"Luminous" in this context means "bright" - how much light (or how much energy in general) does the star emit. Note that stars look dim to us only because they are far away - some of them are actually several times brighter than our Sun, in absolute terms. That is, if you would see several stars, and our Sun, at a same standard distance, some stars would be dimmer, but others would be brighter, than our Sun.


Why does the sun look brighter than other stars?

The sun appears brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other star. The intensity of light we receive from a star decreases with distance, so stars farther away appear dimmer. Additionally, the sun is a relatively hot and luminous star compared to many others, further contributing to its brightness.


Why do stars appear larger in the night sky?

When there is little light like during night time, we can see the stars more clearly. This makes them look brighter and hence, larger.
