interesting thought, however it also could have been mars/venus as they look like stars, or perhaps the north star. could have been any number of stars. however, i dont think they knew back then, that the sun was a star, hence they wouldnt have said they were following a star.

There is 1 star in the solar system. There are other stars - I know because I've seen them. The three wise men saw another star.

The sun is too close and while it is a star, when we refer to stars, we refer to those that are farther away and appear like points of light in the sky.
There was another bright "star" in the sky at the birth of Christ. Some speculation as to just what it is has been made by astronomers and astrophysicists. Maybe a google search will bring up some articles and thoughts on it.

I think "star" would refer to any bright light in the sky such as a planet or comet etc. A comet or nova was observed for 70 days around 5 BC and was recorded by Korean and Chinese astronomers.

No. It is a story. The sun is just the nearest star, not the only.

No! because it story continues to say that it was night and you can't see the sun in the night.

Perhaps, though I don't really see where you are going with this.
