the sun is NOT a dwarf star, it is a g-type star. a dwarf is a s-type star
The Sun is a G2V star G2 means the second hottest of the yellow G class and V (the Roman numeral five) identifies the Sun as a main sequence DWARF STAR (so yes it is a dwarf star) A star with spectral S is a late-type giant star (similar to class K5-M).

What is the sun is the sun big or small?
The sun is a medium-sized star compared to others in the universe. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, or more commonly known as a yellow dwarf star. Its size appears large to us because it is the closest star to Earth.

The Sun isn't especially large, but is still a little larger than average. But the "average" for stars is skewed a bit by the fact that there are so many small stars. We talk about Betelgeuse and Rigel and Sirius, the biggest and brightest stars, but there are far more dwarf stars than giants.
Why is the Sun a yellow dwarf star?
The sun is actually a main sequence star.
What is the star that is bigger than the sun called?

Our Sun is above average; the average star is a red dwarf, with a fraction of the mass of our Sun, and a fraction of its diameter.
How can a star that has more mass than the sun be smaller than your sun?
The obvious reason is that the specific star has bigger density compared with the Sun. For example, that star could be a "white dwarf star". A white dwarf mostly contains "electron degenerate matter", which is very dense. A white dwarf is a small dense star.
What is the sun is the sun big or small?
The sun is a medium-sized star compared to others in the universe. It is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, or more commonly known as a yellow dwarf star. Its size appears large to us because it is the closest star to Earth.
When the sun dies what kind of star will it be?
It will first become a red giant, then turn into a white dwarf and in billions and billions of years it will become a black dwarf.

How far in light year is it to the nearest star not sun?
The nearest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, a small red dwarf star about 4.2 light years away.
Is the sun bigger than the other stars?
Yes and no. Some stars are much larger - like VY Canis Majoris which is 2,000 times larger than our Sun. A white dwarf star can be about the size of the Earth. Whereas a neutron star can be as small as a large city Our Sun is an average star.
