The sun appears close to Earth primarily due to its immense brightness and size compared to other celestial objects. Although it is about 93 million miles away, its light and heat dominate the daytime sky. Additionally, the vastness of space makes the sun seem more prominent and nearer than it actually is, especially when viewed from our perspective on the Earth's surface.
