Our Sun may look big to us and it is. It is about 109 times larger than Earth
However, in comparison to other stars, our Sun is small. Our Sun is just an average sized star.
See related video for a comparison.
No. The Sun is a solitary star.
The Sun is not a solitary star in the traditional sense, as it is part of a larger gravitational system that includes planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. However, it is classified as a single star, belonging to a binary or multiple star system, as it doesn't have a significant companion star. Most stars in the galaxy exist in binary or multiple systems, but the Sun stands alone in its own solar system.
Hmm. Let's have a look out side. How many Suns do I see? One. Our Solar System is not part of a binary star system, otherwise you'd see two Suns in the sky.

Zeta Herculis is a binary star system in the constellation Hercules.It has a class of G0V which means it is similar to our Sun but is moving away from the main sequence.It's companion star is a class K0V
No. The Sun is a solitary star.
Our Sun is not a secondary star. Secondary stars only exist in a binary star system.
A star that is not part of a binary (or trinary) star system. The Sun is also a solitary star.
Spica is a binary star system located in the constellation Virgo. The primary star, Spica A, is a blue giant with a diameter of about 7.5 times that of the Sun, while the secondary star, Spica B, is a main-sequence star.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky.
Our sun does not belong to any specific individual or entity. It is a star located at the center of our solar system and is often referred to as just "the Sun". It is a natural part of the universe and does not have ownership.
The sun is not a secondary star but is the main star in our solar system. It is described as a G-type main-sequence star, which means it is in the middle of its life cycle and generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core. Other stars in the universe can be classified as primary and secondary in binary star systems based on their characteristics and interactions.

Sirius (brightest star in the night sky, 6th closest star to the sun, also a binary star) Canis Majoris VY (largest star known to man)
No, our Sun is not part of a binary system.
Rigil Kentaurus (Toliman). It's probably best known as Alpha Centauri.
