I think you're asking if the Sun should be in upper or lower case.
If referring to the star at the centre of our Solar System, then the Sun is in upper case. If you're referring to a sun outside of our Solar System then it is in lower case.

What kind of star is Betelgeuse exactly?
The star called Betelgeuse is a red giant. It is about 700 times the size of the sun, and its temperature is lower than that of the sun's, at around 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is a star the sun?
the star is a sun
Is heliocentric egg-shaped?
Helio: sun. Centric: center. Ergo, heliocentric means "sun-center." If you are talking about orbits, this means that a star (or in our case, the sun) is the center of the orbit.
How does the red star and the blue star compare to the sun?
Our Sun is basically yellow. Our Sun's surface temperature is higher than that of a red star, and lower than that of a blue star.Other than that, it's hard to make comparisons, since both red stars and blue stars come in VERY different sizes.
Will the K-type Epsilon Eridani star eventually evolve into a G-type main sequence star like the Sun?
No. A star's class on the main sequence is ultimately predetermined by its mass, so a star cannot change its position on the main sequence. Epsilon Eridani is about 82% the mass of the sun, which limits it to a lower rate of fusion and thus a lower temperature and luminosity than a G-type star like the sun. Epsilon Eridani's only change in class will come when it leaves the main sequence to become a red giant.
Is the sun a lower mass star or a higher mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star on the main sequence.
How does the sun compare with the average star?
The sun is an average star - and kind of the lower range of average at that. Among stars as a whole, our Sun is "a face in the crowd".
Does the absolute magnitude of the sun show that it is the brightest star?
No. The sun has an absolute magnitude of 4.83. By comparison, Betelgeuse has an absolute magnitude of -5.85. Lower numbers indicate a brighter star. In this case Betelgeuse is actually several thousand times brighter than the sun. The sun is the brightest star as measure by apparent magnitude, which is how bright a star looks from a given location and depends on both absolute magnitude and distance.
Are all suns stars?
No, all stars aren't suns. A sun is a star that is at the center of a solar system. Planets rotate around the sun. Planets don't rotate around a normal star. A star can be found anywhere around the universe. That's not the case with planets. Planets have to be in a solar system and a sun has to be in the center. If this is the case with a star, then that star can be called a sun.
What kind of star is Betelgeuse exactly?
The star called Betelgeuse is a red giant. It is about 700 times the size of the sun, and its temperature is lower than that of the sun's, at around 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Does every planet move?
Yes. A planet must orbit its star, in our case the sun.
Can you see the Sun as a Star?
No, The sun is seen as a sun and not a star. Our sun is a star.
Is the sun a star or a?
The Sun is a star.
Is a sun or a star?
The Sun is a star.
Is a star the sun?
the star is a sun
What type of noun is sun?
The noun 'sun' (lower case) is a singular, common, concrete noun; a general word word for any star in the heavens; a general word for the light or warmth received from the Earth's own star.The noun 'Sun' (capitalized) is a singular, proper, concrete noun; a word for the star closest to the Earth, the name of a specific star.
Can other suns be seen with naked eyes?
A sun (lower case) is defined as any "star" with planets or other objects revolving around it. As we have found over 400 exoplanets, the answer is yes, you can see other suns in the night sky.
