The main reason that the sun appears so large and bright to us is that we're so
close to it. The next nearest star is about 270 thousand times farther away than
the sun is, and all the others are even farther than that.
If you look at the bright part of the Moon, that is where the Sun is shining so it has to be day. But away from the Sun the sky still looks dark.
The moon does not generate light; it reflects the sun's light, but only a tiny fraction of light. So, as a reflective body, it's safe to look at a bright moon all you want.
The sun was so bright it burned a hole in the ground.
They are there but it is so bright you can't see them
The sun appears bright because it is extremely hot. The visible surface has a temperature of about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so it glows brightly. The energy for this heat comes from the nuclear fusion reactions taking place at the sun's core.
they are burnt out spots on the sun so they are dark but from where we see it it is a big bright yellow sun
Looking directly at the sun can harm your eyes. The moon is not bright enough to do so. It has no light of its own, it can only be seen because of the sun shining on it making it bright enough to see.

The sun would look much smaller than it does from Earth but still bright.

From the distance of Pluto, the Sun would look like a very bright star.
4 times brighter.
Yes. Look at that bright yellow ball in the sky. It is the sun.
The sun is very, very bright and it can melt a piece of lead.
Because the sun is so bright that it "drowns them out". Also, the atmosphere diffuses and distributes so much of the sun's light that whatever direction you look ... even if it's not near the sun in the sky ... it's still too bright for the weak light of a star to show through.
