Our own Sun is not at all bigger or brighter than other stars- in terms of overall stellar magnitude, it actually ranks as quite small. It just seems bigger and brighter to us because we are much closer to it than we are to any of the others.
Many stars in our galaxy are very much bigger than our own, but it doesn't seem like that to us because we are so much further away from them.
The sun is actually a small-medium sized star. It's just hundreds of light years closer to earth than any other star, so it's much closer and therefore looks much bigger.

When objects are moved closer to the viewer, it can make them look larger than a bigger object which is positioned further away. The sun is a medium-sized star, and is absolutely miniscule compared to red giant stars. However, the sun's distance from earth is only a tiny fraction of the distance between the earth and the second nearest star, Proxima Centauri. The sun is just over 8 'light minutes' away from earth, but Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years (just over 2.2 million light minutes). This is why the sun appears to be the largest star in the sky, to a viewer on earth.
The sun is a star, not a planet. It is the largest object in the solar system because, when the solar system formed, 99.86% of the mass went into forming the sun.
Because our sun (main sequence star) is the closest star from the earth.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but the Sun is the biggest body.
Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System and exhibits a large ring structure.
Saturn is the second biggest planet in our solar system.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system, so it's not the biggest, second biggest, or third biggest planet. The biggest planet is Jupiter, followed by Saturn (second biggest), and then Uranus and Neptune (third and fourth biggest respectively), before we get to Mars.
The first planet in the solar system is Mercury
Jupiter is the biggest planet. The sun is not a planet.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but the Sun is the biggest body.
Yes, Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and it is the largest planet in the Solar System.
It is not the biggest planet Jupiter is. The sun is actually a star
The sun is not a planet; it's a star. However, I think I heard once that the mass of the sun is about 98% of the mass of the solar system.
Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System and exhibits a large ring structure.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.
Saturn is the second biggest planet in our solar system.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system, so it's not the biggest, second biggest, or third biggest planet. The biggest planet is Jupiter, followed by Saturn (second biggest), and then Uranus and Neptune (third and fourth biggest respectively), before we get to Mars.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun in the solar system.
The biggest planet in our solar system is Jupiter. This planet has ring around it; the ring is the form of many rocks flood in the atmosphere. Jupiter is the 5th planet count from the Sun.
