Because it is. The majority of stars are singletons, without a stellar companion. And while double and triple star systems are not uncommon, there is reason to believe that the gravitational interactions might prevent habitable planets from forming in stable orbits.

It's entirely likely that if our Sun were part of a double-star system, we would not be here to observe it; either life would never have developed at all, or evolution would have taken a VASTLY different course.

Explain that your sun is not the star in your solar system?
That would be difficult to explain. -- The Sun IS a star. -- It IS in my solar system. -- It's the ONLY star in my solar system. -- So the sun is THE star in my solar system.
Is the sun going to be a million stars?
No. The sun is a single star.

Our sun is actually a small star, tons of stars are way bigger than our sun. One. Each star is a sun.
Explain- if I shoot at the sun I may hit a star.?
no a bulet can,t go that far
How can composition of the sun explain that it is a young star?
Fusion in the sun converts Hydrogen into Helium, so finding out how much Helium is in the Sun can determine how old it is.
Explain why an ecologist might need to understand geology?
the degree of the sun has to do with it
How will a star bright if it was near the sun?
A star near the Sun might be brighter or dimmer, it depends on how big it is. Each star has an absolute magnitude and if you find out a star's absolute magnitude, and then subtract 31.4, that would be its visual magnitude at the Sun's distance from us.
How would people explain the sun?
A star that our solar system revolves around and that provides our heat and light.
The sun does NOT belong what kind of star system?
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this but usually star systems are classed as single (Just one star), binary (meaning two stars orbiting each other), triple (three stars orbiting each other), etc... As our Sun is the only star in this system it is a single star system and therefore none of the others.
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.
