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 there are so many stars around you why can you only see them at night?

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.
