The sun looks so much bigger than the other stars because stars are not in our galaxy, it looks like they are but they are not. We only have one star and that is the sun, and that is why it looks so much closer. Because it actually is.

∙ 12y agoThis is because it is so much closer. Although still 150 million km or around 90 million miles from Earth, the sun is the star of our solar system. This distance takes just over eight minutes to cover, if you travel at the speed of light.
Other stars are light years away, it would take over four years at this same speed to reach the next closest one, which gives you an idea of how far away they are. Some of the stars we can see with the unaided eye are hundreds or thousands of light years away.
