It looks big because the sun is, in fact, very big. The Sun makes up 99% of the mass of the entire solar system. The mass of the sun is 1.9891 x1030 kg. I'm sure you find that a hard number to wrap your mind around, so in comparison, that's 333,000 times the mass of the earth. The Sun's diameter is 1.4 million kilometers (the circumference is 4.4 million km around). You could fit 109 Earths side by side to match the diameter of the sun.

Why does the sun appear so large in the sky?

Why do the stars seem smaller than the sun?

Stars appear smaller than the Sun because they are much farther away from Earth. The Sun is the closest star to us, so it appears much larger and brighter than other stars in the night sky. Additionally, our eyes perceive the size of objects based on their brightness and proximity, which can make stars seem smaller in comparison to the Sun.
