Ah, such a wonderful question! One star that is most similar to our Sun is called Alpha Centauri A. Just like our Sun, it shines with a lovely warmth and brightness that nurtures all the planets surrounding it. Isn't it fascinating how each star has its own unique beauty to admire?
Our sun is not the brightest star in the universe. It only appears brighter because it is much close than any other star. The brightest star as it appears in the sky is Sirius.
Our sun "Sol" is a typical yellow dwarf (type G V) star. Apart from the fact that its third planet is the only known source of life in the universe, it is a rather small but otherwise typical star.
Sun is a type of star specifically called a G-type main-sequence star. Both the Sun and other stars are massive, luminous spheres of plasma that produce energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. While the Sun is the closest star to Earth, all stars in the universe follow similar physical principles.
NO, the Sun is not the hottest star. The hottest stars are the blue and white ones. The Sun is a medium sized star. The reason we find it so hot is because it is the nearest star to us
If the spectrum of a star shows the same absorption lines as the sun than you know that the star has the same composition as the sun. This means that the star is made of the same elements as the sun.
Yes, the sun is considered an average star in the universe.
The sun is our closest star.
As the question specifies brightness, the brightest star in the Universe is our Sun - because it is the closest star to us. The most luminous star is another question: See related question.
The only star in the solar system is the sun.
The most common type of star in the universe is a red dwarf star. These stars are smaller and cooler than our Sun, making up about 70-80 of all stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
The sun is a star, so any star could be much like our sun.

Every star is a sun. There seem to be several hundred billions (several times 1011) in our galaxy alone; there are about as many (1011) similar galaxies in the visible Universe.
The star that Earth orbits is the only star that we call the sun. That said, if you lived on a planet orbiting another star, you would probably call that star the sun.

Actually, yes!
