The sun is a very small star is not as bright or big as most other stars but it seems bigger and brighter because it is much closer. Some stars have burned out, but we still see them in the night sky because the light they give off takes so long to reach us. There may even be some stars that have gone through their entire life cycle but we still have no idea of their existence because they are so far away! The night sky is fascinating, isn't it?
