The Sun appears brighter than most other stars because it is much closer to Earth. Its proximity makes it seem brighter and more intense. Additionally, the Sun's luminosity is higher than many other stars due to its size and age, contributing to its apparent brightness from our perspective on Earth.

What causes some stars to be brighter than others?
In absolute terms larger (more massive) stars shine more brightly than less massive ones. In relative terms (as seen from Earth) more distant stars appear dimmer than closer ones.

The Sun is bigger than some stars and smaller than others. It is brighter than some stars and dimmer than others. Relative to the Earth it is much closer than all other stars.
How big is castor compared to the sun?
Castor, a binary star system in the constellation Gemini, has a combined brightness roughly 50 times that of the Sun. In terms of size, the individual stars in Castor are generally larger than the Sun, with some estimates suggesting they can be about 1.6 times the Sun's diameter. However, as a system, Castor is not as massive as the Sun, given that it is a binary system with two stars instead of a single massive star. Overall, while Castor shines brightly, it doesn't surpass the Sun in terms of mass.
Why does the sun outshines the other stars?
It is closer to us than the other stars so we get a much, much larger fraction of its light compared to other stars. The other stars are so far away that even stars that are much brighter than our sun can only transmit such a small fraction of their light that the tiny fraction we get is consequently much less than the larger fraction of our somewhat dimmer sun.
Why do the big stars shine brighter than the smaller stars?
The big stars have more hydrogen to burn and has much more surface area thats why it shines brighter.

What is the brighter than stars?
There are many stars that are brighter than the sun. Deneb shines the brightest in the constellation Cygnus and is much farther from Earth than most of the other stars you see. Deneb is about 100,000 times brighter than the Sun. HR 5171, has a diameter 1,300 times the sun and is a million times brighter than the sun. R136a1 weighs up to 300 times the mass of the Sun and is close to 10 million times brighter than the sun.

Why does the sun appear bigger and brighter than the other stars?
The sun appears bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to Earth compared to the distant stars. Stars are actually suns, but they look tiny and faint because of their immense distance from us.
Why is the sun bigger than the other stars?
Because the Sun is closer to the earth than all the other stars
Why does the sun look bigger than the other stars?
It is closer than all of the other stars, therefore looking bigger.
