The stars are further away, and so they appear smaller.
The sun is actually a star. The sun is just closer to the earth then any other star.
The further away the earth is the smaller stuff looks. like when your in a airplane and you are high in the sky when you look down every thing looks smaller than it actully is. It is just like this.
